During my showcase lesson that I deeply analyzed, I gave students a pre, mid, and post-assessment.

The pre-assessment was informal, and graded using proximity. The midassessment and post-assessment were formal in which students turned in written work, and received a grade. All assessments were planned with the lesson objective in mind: The

learner will be able to identify and create haikus.

The pre-assessment was an informal assessment, in which the teacher observed student participation. In the pre-assessment, students were to take part in the review discussion of characteristics of poems and syllables. For the mid-assessment, students were to complete the Yes or No? worksheet, in which students were to identify correct haikus. The post-assessment required Students to complete a haiku exit slip in which they will label the syllables in each line of an example haiku, and then students wrote their own haiku about their favorite season.

Pre-Assessment Mid-Assessment Post-Assessment

Repeat and rephrase directions for ESOL and LD Resource students. After all students complete the post assessment, they are to turn in their facts and read. Both ESOL students will have a peer monitor sit beside

them throughout the lesson to ensure that they stay on task and make sure they are getting what they need from the read aloud. The teacher will use proximity to closely monitor all ESOL and LD Resource students throughout Post-Assessment: the lesson to ensure - Students will they are getting the complete a haiku concepts of the exit slip in which lesson and they will label the completing their syllables in each line work thoroughly by of an example haiku. checking during the Then, students will post assessment to write their own haiku see if they need about their favorite help; they may be season. assigned a partner depending on how they do. Mid-Assessment: Students will read five short poems, and determine yes, it is a haiku or no, it is not a haiku because. The teacher will collect this sheet at the end of the lesson.

The average grade for the class on the mid-assessment was 4.5. For the postassessment, the average grade dropped to 3.9. After analyzing my instructional decisions and the assessments, I feel like my lesson was not the problem for the decrease in the class average. I look through each students mid-assessment and post-assessment, and one problem was that many of the students did not follow directions. But, as far as content, the students did not know syllables and how to count syllables. Therefore, I would need to

go more in depth with syllables, and then return to the haiku lesson. After teaching syllables lesson by itself and doing the haiku lesson over, student success should increase.

RUBRIC Mid-Assessment: There are five examples of haikus given, and students must determine if it is a haiku by circling yes or no; if no, then explain why. If explanations are wrong or not thorough, students will lose points. 5 points Answers 5 correctly. 4 points Answers 4 correctly. 3 points Answers 3 correctly. 2 points Answers 2 correctly. 1 points Answers 1 correctly. 0 points Answers 0 correctly.

RUBRIC Post-Assessment: Each part of the exit slip counts as 1 point: label the number of syllables (1), explain why the example is a haiku (1), Create own haiku-line 1 has 5 syllables (1), line 2 has 7 syllables (1), and line 3 has 5 syllables. 5 points Completes 5 out of 5 parts of the exit slip correctly: Label the syllables, explain why it is a haiku, create a haiku with the correct amount of 4 points 3 points 2 points 1 points 0 points
