ASSESSMENT
During Activities 8, I will be walking between groups to observe and
record which students are displaying knowledge about how the
Kaurna people relied on the natural environment of the Adelaide
plains to utilize the aspect of Kaurna culture that they are focusing
on. I would then collect the mind maps in Activity 9 to ascertain,
based on what was added, which groups have shown understanding
of the spiritual importance of the land to the Indigenous way of life.
These knowledge and understandings will be summatively assessed
through the final presentation in Activity 10. This will involve
feedback through a marking rubric which assess whether the
information on Kaurna culture is accurate (knowledge), and whether
students have displayed understanding of the spiritual importance
of country to Indigenous culture. The skills that I intend students to
learn will be formatively assessed through note-taking on a class roll
throughout the entire unit. For example, taking note of students who
are sharing points of view respectfully with group members during
activity 8, and keeping record of all students inquiry questions to
ascertain whether they need further instruction on posing and
investigating questions (activities 3, 4 and 5). Student responses
during activity 11 will indicate whether the value of peace and the
attitude of reconciliation has resonated and found root within the
students.
