1. __EDC 331 experiences__: What type of assessments does your practicum teacher seem to use predominantly? How does your practicum teacher use questioning (Wait time; types of questions; purposes of questions; effective verses ineffective uses; student self-assessment; peer-assessment)? How does your practicum teacher use (peer) feedback to students?

2. __Providing effective Feedback using the D.I.S. protocol__. In your LG, select a piece of student work from the camping Trip problem from last week and prepare a feedback statement in your group log for that piece of work using the feedback protocol distributed last week (Describe, Interpret, Support)

3. __Rubric writing practice__. In your LG find the performance assessment task near the end of your log and the associated analytical rubric grid. Follow the instructions and collaboratively create a rubric for this task. Make sure you indicate how your rubric satisfies most of the criteria from page 236-241 and figure 9.11 summary of criteria : FIGURE 9.11Checklist for Writing and Implementing Rubrics ␣ Do criteria focus on important aspects of the performance? ␣ Is the type of rating matched with the purpose? ␣ Are the traits directly observable? ␣ Are the criteria understandable? ␣ Are the traits clearly defined? ␣ Is scoring error minimized? ␣ Is the scoring system feasible?
