Summative Assessment
You are a scientist.
As part of your research on the brain, you have decided to keep a daily reflective journal of your findings, reflections and scientific discoveries.
After your study is complete, you will submit your journal to a panel of professors who will evaluate your work.

You will also need to write and publish a FINAL one page reflective journal summarizing your learning using proper sentences and paragraphs.
Lastly, you will present your findings about the brain, learning styles, and/or the way people acquire knowledge in any way you like. This can be a …

Words Their Way (spelling program)
• is a developmental spelling, phonics and vocabulary program.
• helps students to recognize phonic patterns in words.
• Students are grouped based on assessment and inquiry into phonic patterns through activities such as word sorting, word hunts and games.
• once students have completed a level, they will move onto the next level.
Words Their Way• Day 1: Pattern Inquiry - Cut and SORT your new words. Read each word
aloud. CHECK by reading aloud each word. Draw table with spelling patterns in spelling book. REFLECT - what spelling pattern are you learning? When you are done, read them to a friend and then place them in your baggie.
• Day 2: Speed Sort - Perform Speed SORT with a timer. CHECK and correct your speed sort. Add 5 secs for each mistake. REFLECT. Write 5 challenging sentences using your words.
• Day 3: Blind sort with your buddy. Place pattern headers face up on table. Give buddy your sort cards. Buddy reads words to you one at a time without you seeing them. Point to correct spelling pattern header. Buddy places word in category you chose. CHECK. If wrong, give word back to buddy. Continue until complete. REFLECT - explain spelling pattern to buddy. Write 5 challenging sentences in your Homework book.
• Day 4: Word Hunt. Record any new words you find that match your spelling pattern and are not already in your book.
• Day 5: Assessment
Multiple Intelligences Activity
• Which multiple intelligence (MI) dominated?• Do you think this was correct? Why/why not?• With a partner, learn more about your MI. Find
as much information about it as you can. Take notes as you will be sharing this information.
• Come up with 5 different activities that you think people with your MI would like to do when showing their learning. For example, a logical-mathematical person would probably want to show what they learned through numbers in the form of a chart.
Learning Styles
• What is my learning style testhttp://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles-quiz.shtml• Group yourself based on the results of
your learning style • Inquire into and find as much information
about your learning style as you can. You have 30 min.
• Present your findings
