Formal Assessment: Students will
be putting together a newspaper article using pictures and writing pieces on
a certain topic. They will be graded on 7 components such as phonemic
awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, writing and comprehension.
Informal Assessment: They will
post their work on Edmodo.com and each student will make a comment on each other’s
work/news article.
● Explain how the design
or adaptation of your assessment allows students with specific needs to
demonstrate their learning. Consider all students, including students with
IEPs, ELLs, struggling readers, and/or gifted students.
Visual/ hands on learning will be
done by integrating technology

Instructional procedure: Instructional
strategies and learning tasks (including what you and the students will be
doing) that support diverse student needs. Your design should be based on the
following:
Do Now: Show students a modern
news paper article and how the format is laid out and point out that in a
newspaper everything is spelled properly and that there is no room for error
in terms of grammar.
Mini Lesson: Check for things such
as Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, writing and
comprehension. Go over the proper ways to do each of the 7 components and let
them be aware that this is what you are looking for when you read their
articles.
Next allow students to look online
at some newspaper articles to get ideas on what topic they would like to do
and state that they can pick their own topics such as animals, weather, history
or up and coming events to do this newspaper article on. They can draw or
take images found online to add to the article.
Once completed they will upload it
to Edmodo.com and each student in the class with comment on each other’s work
online using Edmodo.com
