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.

The PROFESSORS

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 …

Fixed vs Growth Mindset

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

Acquiring Knowledge & Retention

• How does memory work? Where is it stored in our brains?

• Why do we remember some things, but forget others?

• How can we remember things better? (retention)

• What are some diseases that effect the brain?

• Can they be cured?

Date, August __th, 2015

Parts of the Brain

WHAT?• Let’s revisit what we learned about the

brain.• What are the parts of the brain?SO WHAT?• How do they work?NOW WHAT?• Activity: Use your preferred learning

style/multiple intelligence to share what you learned.
