authentic assessment

Submitted by Diane Balanovich on Fri, 07/24/2009 - 2:04pm.

I enjoyed listening to everyone's explaination of a water molecule. The train of thought for each person in the class leveled their response from simple to complex and also multiple explainations. What a wonderful way to go back and think about metacognition, what was the thinking behind the thinking that lead to the answers presented to class. In first grade we always go over math problems and then students have an opportunity to explain the train of thought that lead them to their answer.

 

How would you assess this activity? I'm not sure how you would decide the grade. Even when observing studnets and seeing their growth, how do you determine a letter or number grade? I guess I would put more weight on the process and less on the content. ???
