Observation Assignment #4

What do you think the objective is?
I observed the same lesson given four times during one school day.  The objective for the lesson was “Students will work in groups of four to begin researching/learning about a topic that they chose on plate tectonics.”
What level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is that?
Analysis
How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?
A lesson like this would most likely be assessed informally through teacher observation and questioning.  In my observations, the teacher was going around to each group of students to assess the progress they were making with their research.  She was asking them what topic they chose, what resources they were using, and what information they had found.  In doing this she was able to offer them help on the spot if they were stuck or had any questions.
The following quiz could have been used to assess this lesson:

Name:______________________________

1.      List your group members:
·         ___________________________________
·         ___________________________________
·         ___________________________________
·         ___________________________________

2.      Circle the topic your group chose for your project:
A.    Convergent boundary- mountain building
B.     Convergent boundary- subduction building
C.     Divergent boundary- continental rifting
D.    Divergent boundary- seafloor spreading
E.     What drives plate motion- convection, ridge push and slab pull
F.      Hot spots and island formation
G.    Continental drift (break up of Pangaea to present day)

3.      Describe three pieces of information on your topic that you have found in your research today.
