This is a pre-assessment to measure the task of writing a narrative text. Full

This is a pre-assessment to measure the task of writing a narrative text. Full compositions are always part of a Performance Task. A complete performance task would have: Part 1 • A Classroom Activity (30 Minutes) Activity should include 1. New language and vocabulary students may encounter in passages (taught through a source that does not pre-teach the actual passages). Vocabulary that may be new to students in the passages in this assessment may include: wind, sun, stronger, argued, blew, shone, cool air, warm air, heats, hard wind, softly, rises, sea breeze, beach, sky, form, blowing, push, windmill, blades, motor and energy. 2. A video, class/group activity or read aloud to build background about the wind. A U-Tube video/song that has some excellent vocabulary is: https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Fw. ZMfkwpp 3 w (35 minutes – Independent work) • Passages or stimuli to Read • 3 Research Questions • There may be other constructed response questions. Part 2 • A Full-Composition (70 Minutes) Students should have access to spell-check resources but no grammar-check resources. Students can refer back to their passages, notes and 3 research questions and any other constructed responses, as often they’d like. The note-taking forms in this pre-assessment were created for informational text. If you choose to use these, please have your students take notes while reading the informational passages. Directions 30 minutes 1. You may wish to have a 30 minute classroom activity. The purpose of a PT activity is to ensure that all students are familiar with the concepts of the topic and know and understand key terms (vocabulary) that are at the upper end of their grade level (words they would not normally know or are unfamiliar to their background or culture). The classroom activity DOES NOT pre-teach any of the specific content that will be assessed! 35 minutes 2. Students read the passages independently. If you have students who can not read the passages you may read them to those students but please make note of the accommodation. Remind students to take notes as they read. During an actual SBAC assessment students are allowed to keep their notes as a reference. 3. Students answer the 3 research questions or other constructed response questions. Students should also refer to their answers when writing their full opinion piece. 15 minute break 70 Minutes 4. Students write their full composition (narrative piece). SCORING A Narrative Rubric is provided. Students receive three scores: 1. Organization and Purpose 2. Evidence and Elaboration 3. Conventions Rev. Control: 01/20/2015 HSD – OSP and Susan Richmond 3

They are a tool to inform instructional decision making. It is not the intent of these assessments to have students “guess and check” answers for the sake of finishing an assessment. All students should “move toward” taking the assessments independently but many will need scaffolding strategies. If students are not reading at grade level and can’t read the text, please read the stories to the students and ask the questions. Allow students to read the parts of the text that they can. Please note the level of differentiation a student needed. About this Assessment This assessment includes: Selected-Response, Constructed-Response, and a Performance Task. Types of SBAC Constructed Response Rubrics in this Assessment http: //www. livebinders. com/play? id=774846 Reading • 2 Point Short Response • 3 Point Extended Response Writing • 4 Point Full Composition Rubric (Performance Task) • 3 Point Brief Write (1 -2 Paragraphs) Rubric • 3 Point Write to Revise Rubrics as Needed Research • 2 Point Rubrics Measuring Research Skill Use Quarter 3 Performance Task The underlined sections are those scored on SBAC. Please take 2 days to complete performance tasks. Part 1 • • Part 2 Classroom Activity if Desired/Needed Read two paired passages. Take notes while reading (note-taking). Answer SR and CR research questions about sources Components of Part 1 Note-Taking: Students take notes as they read passages to gather information about their sources. Students are allowed to use their notes to later write a full composition (essay). Note-taking strategies should be taught as structured lessons throughout the school year in grades K – 6. A teacher’s note-taking form with directions and a note-taking form for your students to use for this assessment is provided, or you may use whatever formats you’ve had past success with Please have students practice using the note-taking page in this document before the actual assessment if you choose to use it. Research: In Part 1 of a performance task students answer constructed response questions written to measure a student’s ability to use research skills needed to complete a performance task. These CR questions are scored using the SBAC Research Rubrics rather than reading response rubrics. • • • Plan your essay (brainstorming -pre-writing). Write, Revise and Edit (W. 5) Writing a Full Composition or Speech Components of Part 2 Planning Students review notes and sources and plan their composition. Write, Revise and Edit Students draft, write, revise and edit their writing. Word processing tools should be available for spell check (but no grammar check). This protocol focuses on the key elements of writing narratives: 1. introduction (narrator and/or setting and characters) 2. organization (event sequence) 3. development (narrative techniques such as dialogue, pacing, description reflection, and multiple plot lines) 4. transitions (to sequence events) 5. conclusion 6. conventions of standard English. There are NO Technology-enhanced Items/Tasks (TE) Note: It is highly recommended that students have experiences with the following types of tasks from various on-line instructional practice sites, as they are not on the HSD Elementary Assessments: reordering text, selecting and changing text, selecting text, and selecting from drop-down menu Rev.

Pre-Assessment and Learning Progressions The pre-assessments measure progress toward standard mastery Unlike the Common

Pre-Assessment and Learning Progressions The pre-assessments measure progress toward standard mastery Unlike the Common Formative Assessments which measure standard mastery, the pre-assessments are more like a base-line picture of a student’s strengths and gaps, measuring skills and concepts, students need “along the way, ” in order to achieve standard mastery. Beg. of QTR CFA Example of a Learning Progression for RL. 2. 1 Pre-Assessments Measure Adjustment Points (in purple) After the pre-assessment is given, Learning Progressions provide informal formative assessment below and near grade-level “tasks” throughout each quarter. DOK 1 - Ka Recall who, what, where, when, why and how about a story read and discussed in class. DOK - Kc Use and define Standard Academic Language: who, what, where, when, why, and how; ask, answer, questions, key details DOK 1 - Cd Connect the terms who to characters; where and when to setting; what and how to sequence of events. DOK 1 - Cf Ask and answer who, what, where, when, why and how questions about key details in a text. Throughout the QTR DOK 2 - Ch Concept Development Student understands that key details help tell who, what, where, when, why and how. DOK 2 - Ck Uses key details to identify who, what, where, when, why and how about a story not read in class. DOK 2 -Cl Finds information using key details to answer specific questions about a new story. END of QTR RL. 2. 1 grade -level standard assessment. Standard Mastery RL. 2. 1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text So what about a “post-assessment? ” There is not a standardized post-assessment. The true measure of how students are doing “along the way, ” is assessed in the classroom during instruction and classroom formative assessment. For this reason The CFA’s are not called “post-assessments. ” The CFAs measure the “end goal, ” or standard mastery. However, without the pre-assessments, how will we know what our instruction should focus on throughout each quarter? Learning Progressions: are the predicted set of skills needed to be able to complete the required task demand of each standard. The learning progressions were aligned to Hess’ Cognitive Rigor Matrix. The pre-assessments measure student proficiency indicated on the boxes in purple (adjustment points). These points are tasks that allow us to adjust instruction based on performance. For instance, if a student has difficulty on the first “purple” adjustment point (DOK-1, Cf) the teacher will need to go back to the tasks prior to DOK-1 Cf and scaffold instruction to close the gap, continually moving forward to the end of the learning progression. There is a Reading Learning Progression checklist for each standard in each grade that can be used to monitor progress. It is available at: http: //sresource. homestead. com/Grade-2. html Rev.

A Note about constructed responses: Constructed response answers are not written “in stone. ” There is no perfect way a student should respond. Look for the general intent of the prompt and student response and follow the rubric below as much as possible. Use your best judgment. Unlike DOK-1 questions where there is one right and wrong answer, constructed responses are more difficult to assess. Overall consistency of intent based on most of your student responses can guide you. Quarter 3 Pre-Assessment Research Constructed Response Answer Key Constructed Response Research Rubrics Target 2 Locate, Select, Interpret and Integrate Information. Question # 7 Prompt: What details in the illustration and text help the readers to know more about the setting in The Wind and The Sun? Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to locate and select information about specific illustrations and text (need both) that give an indication of the story setting. The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to interpret and integrate the connections between the story and the illustrations. The response prompt should show an integration of both the story and the illustration details selected that support the setting of the story. Details from the illustration that students could use in their response may include: (1) the setting is outside, (2) the boy is outside and (3) the sun and wind show it is outside. Details from the text that students could use in their response may include: (1) the wind and sun saw a boy walking – which infers being “outside, ” (2) the boy had on a coat which infers that it may have been a cold day to begin with, (3) the boy took off his coat which infers it was eventually a warm day, (4) it was a windy day when the wind blew and (5) it was a hot day when the sun shone. Student “Language” Response Examples 2 1 0 The student locates and selects information about the setting of the story and interprets/integrates that information to explain how the details and pictures help the readers understand more about the setting. The setting of this story is outside. The picture shows the boy is outside. The sun and the wind are always outside, so it has to be outside. The outside is first cold because the boy has a coat on in the story. Then it is hot because the sun shines. The boy takes his coat off to show it is hot. The student locates and selects some or minimal information about the setting of the story and interprets/integrates that information to explain how the details help the readers understand more about the setting but with little reference to details from the text or illustration. The setting is where the boy and sun and wind are. They are outside. The student does not give enough evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information. The setting is where something happens. Toward RL. 17 DOK 2 - APn Obtain and interpret information using illustrations and details to describe characters, setting, or events. Rev.

Quarter 3 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RL. 1. 9: 3 - Point Reading Constructed Response Rubric Question #8 (prompt): What lesson can readers learn from The Wind and The Sun ? Explain why you think so. Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy. ” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: Sufficient Evidence (conclusion or central idea) of the prompt would be a complete answer to the prompt along with an explanation about why the student chose the specific lesson the story could teach readers. Specific identifications (key details) that support the lesson the story could teach readers depends on the student response. The response must be logical and “make sense, ” to the inferences in the story or connected to the story details in someway. Student responses should include, however, comments that address one or some of the following: (1) arguing, (2) boasting, (3) daring or competing, (4) never thinking you’re wiser or stronger than others or you could be proven wrong, (5) getting along is better, (6) is winning important or not, and (7) what the sun or wind might have learned about being right or wrong. Any response is accurate if supported by logical details from the text. Full Support (other details) could include specific details alluding to the above such as, (1) the wind boasted, (2) the sun boasted, (3) the wind began the boasting, (4) both the sun and wind argued, (5) both tried to prove they were right, (6) the wind could not remove the boy’s coat because… and (7) the sun removed the boys coat by…. The student gives a proficient response by stating a specific statement of a lesson readers could learn from the story and supporting that statement with logic and textual evidence or details. 3 2 1 0 The lesson readers can learn is to not always think you are better than other people. The wind said he was strongest. Then the sun said he was. They argued a lot. They both tried to show who was the strongest. In the end the sun was the strongest. I think the sun won because the wind started the argument and it shows he wasn’t the best. It is kind of like you should not brag. The student gives a partial response by stating a somewhat specific statement of a lesson readers could learn from the story and supporting that statement with partial logic and textual evidence or details. This story gives a good lesson to be nice to others. If the wind was nice this would not have started the fight. The student gives a minimal response by stating a vague lesson readers could learn from the story but with little or no supporting logic or details from the text. I learned a lesson to button my coat outside. It could be windy. The student provides no evidence of stating a lesson or providing logical details from the text or illustration. Wind can blow hard and the sun can be very hot. Toward RL. 1. 9 DOK 3 - EVS Write a concluding sentence about the main differences and similarities of character’s experiences or adventures. Rev.

Question # 15 Prompt: Tell why the wind is important. Use examples from both articles. Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response: gives sufficient evidence of the ability to locate and select information about the prompt. Sufficient evidence that students can find and select information about the prompt would include facts/details students write about from both passages about what makes wind important. Students should be encouraged to use their notes. 3 -5 examples are sufficient (if they are from both passages). The response: gives sufficient evidence of the ability to interpret and integrate information about the prompt. Students interpret when they select facts as relevant evidence to support the prompt and integrate when they write about their evidence. Relevant evidence can include that the wind is Important for a reason. Reasons should be stated (i. e. , wind pushes birds, wind makes mountains, wind helps seeds to grow, wind blows leaves off trees, wind cools us in the summer with a sea breeze, etc. . . ). Student “Language” Response Example Student gives 3 - 5 sufficient reasons as evidence explaining why the wind is important from both passages. 2 1 0 The wind is important for a lot of reasons. The wind helps the leaves blow off of trees. In the summer you can feel a soft sea breeze on the beach. That can help you feel not so hot. Did you know wind can help make energy too? The wind blows a windmill’s blades around and it helps make a motor go. Wind can even help a bird fly when it pushes it. Student gives 1 - 2 limited reasons as evidence explaining why the wind is important (limited means few details). The student does use examples from both passages. The wind blows a lot. It makes the beach cool and it makes mountains too. The students does not give enough relevant information to answer the prompt. Wind makes my hair blow. I don’t like it.

Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information (or… such as fact from opinion) about the prompt. Relevant information from Article 1 could include (1) air is all around, (2) when air moves it makes wind, (3) warm air goes up and meets cool air, (4) winds can be hard or soft and (5) a sea breeze is a soft wind. Relevant information from Article 2 could include (1) wind make mountains, (2) wind moves plant seeds, (3) wind pushes birds and kites, (4) wind helps make energy and (5) any information about how wind moves windmills mentioned in Article 2. Student “Language” Response Example Student presents sufficient relevant facts learned about the wind from both articles (student does not need to mention each fact). 2 In the first story, I learned how wind is made. The sun shines down and makes the land warm. This makes the air warm too so it goes up. Warm air goes up. Then when it goes up it meets the sky where the cold air is. When warm and cold air meet it makes the wind! This is like the sea breeze wind. First the warm air goes up from the beach. Then it meets the cool sea air and makes a sea breeze. In the next story I learned that the wind blows rocks and dirt. When this happens it makes mountains. The mountains take many years to become mountains. Wind blows seeds to new places and then they grow. The wind can do lots of things! Student presents partial or minimal relevant facts learned about the wind from both articles. 1 Wind is really neat. I feel wind sometimes and it hurts my ear. Wind happens when cold and warm air meet. I think that’s why when I feel wind sometimes its cold and sometimes its hot. Wind can push birds and kites around too. 0 Student presents no evidence to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information about the prompt. Wind blows at my school and makes me feel bad.

The difference between this rubric and the constructed response reading rubrics, is that the Brief Write Rubric is assessing writing proficiency in a specific area, while the reading rubrics are assessing comprehension. Quarter 3 Pre-Assessment Brief Write Constructed Response Answer Key Organization: Conclusion W. 1. 3. c Target: 1 a In your concluding statement, use temporal words to signal event order. W. 3 Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure. Prompt #17: Read the story below. Write an ending for the story that solves the problem. The Sad Cow One day a cow went to drink water from a big tank. The wind was blowing, but the windmill blades did not turn around. The motor did not pump water into the big tank. The cow was sad. Write a Brief Text, W. 3 b Temporal Words Target 1 a Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” Directions for Scoring: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy. ” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: The student response should provide a conclusion (1 -2 sentences) that logically follow and support the preceding information about the Sad Cow transitioning from the beginning to the end using specific temporal words to signal event order as this is the central focus of this brief write. The student will show that they recognize event sequence from the beginning of the story to the ending by using temporal words to signal event order. These words may include but are not limited to: (1) then, (2) but, (3) finally, (4) next, (5) and so, and (6) now (etc. . ). The conclusion should make sense and support the preceding information about the Sad Cow. Student “Language” Response Examples for a Brief Write 2 The brief write transitions from a beginning to a conclusion using temporal transitioning words to signal an event order that follows logically from the preceding information. Then, a farmer came by and saw that the cow was sad. He looked at the big water tank. “Oh no, ” it is empty. So the farmer fixed the windmill blades. Now the cow has water and is happy. 1 The brief write transitions from a beginning to a conclusion using at least one temporal transitioning word to signal an event order but vaguely or somewhat follows logically from the preceding information. A farmer saw the broken windmill and water. So the farmer fixed it. 0 The brief write does not show transitions from a beginning to a conclusion. The motor got fixed. Rev.

Your student’s full composition can be analyzed to identify English language proficiency levels. It is evident that students will be navigating through the modalities to get to the end product. However, it is important to keep in mind what the full opinion writing performance task is assessing and how deeply the student understands class content and language. The ELP growth goal is to provide the “just-right scaffolds” for students to demonstrate their understanding in order for them to move from one proficiency level to the next.

Grade Equivalent: 1. 7 Lexile Level: 590 The Wind and The Sun an Aesop

Grade Equivalent: 1. 7 Lexile Level: 590 The Wind and The Sun an Aesop Fable One day the wind said to the sun, “I am stronger than you!” The sun said, “No, I am the strongest!” The wind and sun argued back and forth most of the day. The next day they started to argue again. Then the wind and the sun looked down and saw a boy walking down the street. The boy had on a long, heavy coat. First, the wind said, “I can take off the boy’s coat!” But quickly afterwards, the sun said, “I can take off the boy’s coat!” Again they argued and argued about who was the strongest of the two. Will the sun win? Will the wind win? Who can take off the boy’s coat first? Then, the wind blew strong air, so strong that the boy could hardly walk. The harder the wind blew, the tighter the boy held unto his coat on. The wind blew until he was tired, but he still could not take off the boy’s coat. Now it was the sun’s turn. He sent his light upon the boy. The sun did not have to do much. He shone upon the boy’s head and back, until the boy became so warm, that he took off his coat and sat under a shade tree. Rev.
