My assessment is the following checklist assessing the diorama as a check for understanding:
The habitat has food the animal eats:
The habitat has a water source available:
The habitat has shelter for the animal:
The habitat has space relative to the animal's size:
The habitat is consistent with the chosen animal's actual habitat:
The performance linked goals are to demonstrate and understanding of the components of a habitat. This checklist assesses the child's diorama as it pertains to the areas clearly listed in the checklist. The other objectives are based in group discussions which are assessed through observations. For these I would add anecdotal notes in student portfolios.
I will demonstrate the gaining of higher order thinking skills through anecdotal notes on the discussion at the end of the lesson. Students are required to discuss their learning and research in a group discussion, encouraging them to reflect on what they learned and how they came to their conclusions. This will indicate whether or not they used higher order thinking and how in depth their understanding of the subject is.
I believe my lesson covers all student needs, but I will make sure to ask students if they have any concerns or difficulties during the end of class discussion as well in the individual discussion of their product. I will be observing and talking to students as I walk around the classroom throughout the lesson. I would also trust that my students feel comfortable enough to come to me if they need additional help.
