Chapter 14

1. Identify the parts of the lessons described in the book. Name 3 types of assessment in both lessons. Provide examples. How do the formative assessments in the lessons assist the teacher in tracking students’ progress toward constructing each lesson’s major concept? What levels of Bloom's taxonomy are incorporated? Illustrate.


The different parts of each lesson are exploratory introduction, lesson development, and expansion.  The three types of assessment that was used for both lessons are: Diagnostic, Formative, and Summative. The Diagnostic assessment was the teacher asking the different questions to get them thinknig about the lesson ahead of them. The formative assessment were the different checklists for the teacher to complete through out the lesson.  the summative assessemtnt on the first lesson was for the students to draw a blueprint to a certain scale.  The second lesson was to applie a rule to each item on the checklist.  Formnative assessments in the lessons assisst the teacher in tracking students progress because it is a checklist.  The teaacher can see what the students complete and what they don't and then use those checklists for information that she has to go over.  I think all the levels of Bloom's taxonomy are used.

2. How do the formative assessments in the expansion phase enable the teacher to identify whether students are applying the concept? 


The formative assessments in the expansion phase enable the teacher to identify if the studetns are apply the concepts because she has a checklist that asks to record whether the students are accuratley inidcating the scale they used in the drawing or to properly identify why rules are used in a game.




3. How does the summative evaluation enable the teacher to determine how well each student has constructed the major concept of the lesson? 


The summative evaluation enables the teacher to see how well each student has constructed the major concepts of the lessons because that is basically the final project.  That is when the student has to put everything they learned together.
