Stage 2: Evidence
Assessments Unit investigation
Summative “Assessment OF learning”
Formative “Assessment FOR learning”
Inquiry and Investigation During the unit, students will participate in the inquiry process. They will… 1. Pose a class question to research 2. Find relevant resources to support the
research which may include digital sources
3. Study the resources and interpret the information to answer the question
4. Report findings in a variety of ways that may include the following:
Class Thinking Maps
Class poster
Class Power Point
Class essay Research findings should be reported on or before October 5, 2018. The Unit Investigation Board should be used as a resource center for students to interact with relevant resources and artifacts that pertain to the class investigation. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Writing 7. Conduct short as well as more sustained
research projects based on focused questions, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
8. Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism.
9. Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Summative assessments evaluate student learning and understanding at the end of the unit of study. Listed below are the assessment windows for the Foundational Reading Skills Assessments.
Foundational Reading Skills Assessment
Assessment Window
Assessment #1 10/1 – 10/5
Assessment #2 1/30 – 2/5
Assessment #3 5/6 – 5/10
Foundational Skills Standard Students are given the Foundational Reading Skills Assessment to address the following standards:
RF.K.1
RF.K.2
RF.K.3
RF.K.4
Formative assessments monitor student learning and provide ongoing feedback to improve student learning during the unit of study. Formative assessments address all the learning goals for the unit of study. However, not all learning goals are formally addressed in the summative assessment. Teacher created tests, quizzes, and observations should be used as evidence to address the following standards:

Instructional Sequence
Common Core Writing Standard
The purpose of writing instruction is to help strengthen students’ writing skills so they become successful independent writers. A careful balance between assisted writing and unassisted writing must be established to provide opportunities for students to observe good writing and also practice writing on their own. The following writing guidelines clarify the two kinds of writing experiences.
K Writing Program
Modeled Writing
(Assisted Writing) Prompt Writing
(Unassisted Writing)
Purpose: Provide students a strong model for writing Provide students an opportunity to practice independent
writing
Feedback: Conferencing at various stages (brainstorm, organize, write) and
provide feedback on writing Conferencing using the WFBB Analytical Writing Rubric
Use: Celebrate and display best writing in the classroom Writing placed in a writing folder/file to reflect and show
growth over time for the teacher and student
Teacher/student selects 1 piece of writing every other unit
for posting (Units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) Teacher/student uses information from WFBB analytic
rubric to reflect, guide instruction, and plan mini-lessons
Frequency: Teacher follows suggested pacing as outlined in WFBB At least 1 unassisted writing piece per every other unit
(Units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9)
Prompt type: Teacher selected prompt District prompt
