In this performance assessment, students will listen to a story being read aloud. Then, students will create a magazine spread to showcase their knowledge from the story. Students will be asked to describe and compare two things from the story, either two characters, two settings, or two events.
Students will create the final product in any appropriate way, including, but not limited to, PowerPoint or Google Slides (or another slideshow tool), Microsoft Word or Google Docs, or paper and colored pens/pencils/ markers. Final student work should be saved or scanned as an Acrobat PDF for uploading to the virtual scoring software.
This assessment can be used at any time in 5th grade.
