A portfolio might include a student's "_______ _________" & the student's evaluation of the strengths & weaknesses of several pieces. The portfolio may also contain some "_________ ______ _________________" that illustrate the improvements the student has made over time. Criteria for An Authentic Assessment The task… is ________________ ; meaningful is ________________ ; found in the real world is ___________ ; involves a variety of higher thinking skills is ________________ & student-centered is ________________ ; learning is by discovery is ________________ for all students is ______________ __________________ ; supports a variety of responses and/or may support more than one solution process has clear & tangible ________________/________________ to meet; process & product measured (scoring guides) 1

2 What thinking skills are involved? Structuring the Task 1. Give the students a _______. 2. Use direction words so that they are thinking on a _______of levels. 3.

Example Task Task: You work for the U.S. government in the Office of War Information, and you have been assigned to create a piece of propaganda convincing the young men in the country to enlist OR convincing all Americans to do their part in the war effort (ex. buy bonds). Take into consideration the elements that make propaganda effective and synthesize them into an effective product. Audience: American Men or American Men, Women, & Children of all ages.

Differentiating with Authentic Tasks 7 Tic Tac Toe Students choose questions to answer in an effort to complete a vertical or diagonal row, thereby answering a question at each of the different levels of thinking. Application & Analysis Synthesis Evaluation

Cubing In teams of 3 or 4, one student rolls the cube or die. The student who rolls the cube begins by discussing the authentic “thinking question” (TQ) that is face up. While the TQ is discussed by all members of the team, the student who rolled the dice acts as the facilitator & summarizes the conversation before the next player rolls the cube. Variation Use cubing in a learning center. The student will roll the cube or die and then complete the authentic task that is face up on the cube/die
