Assessment
Assessment Of Learning
Prior to commencing the activity, jointly develop assessment criteria with students, outlining the quality of work
they are expected to produce. Students will be given a task sheet outlining what information they must include.
The assessment of learning for this unit will be completed throughout this activity. The assessment of
learning consists of students ability to describe the different experiences of the chosen convict. The
teacher will be able to assess the students communication skills as well as their understanding by
looking at what information the student has decided to include.
A rubric has been created for the teacher to assess each student.
