Written Assignment: November 25

On or before November 25:

–Describe in detail your capstone assessment.
-You should design this before starting the unit.
-It should offer students choices

– In addition to a one page, single-spaced paper addressing the following points, I need to see the actual assignment that you will share with students

– What specific learning objectives is the capstone
assessment designed to measure?

– How will you differentiate within the assessment?
How did you do that if all students must meet the same learning objectives?
– What is the criteria for "grading" this? Students need to know this before they begin, whether you use a rubric or specifically state what an A, B, C, and D capstone has and lacks
