2. Assessment Task (ACEI 4-Informal and formal assessment. Candidate plans appropriate formative and summative assessments to guide and assess student learning, including criteria)
In this lesson, the students will listen to story called Falling Flowers by Jennifer B. Reed. The students will answer questions regarding key details of the story during the whole group read aloud. The students will be introduced to the national flowers of Hawaii, Germany, Mexico, and Japan. The students will make observations of each flower and identify similarities and differences. The teacher will record their observations on a chart paper as a form of a formative assessment. The students will watch a video to learn the parts and functions of a flower. The students will choose a national flower and identify the parts of the flower (petals, leaves, stem, roots, seed). The students will create the flower using petal cutouts, pipe cleaners, leaf cutouts, brown shredded paper, and seeds. Then the students will label the parts of the flower they made using the appropriate terms. This will be used as a summative assessment of this lesson.
