FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT for
Science / ELA
3-2-1 Exercise
Students to complete a 3-2-1 exercise where they record 3 things they learned about credible sources, 2 things that surprised them about noncredible sources, and 1 strategy they can employ to determine if a source is credible or noncredible.
Analysis: Upon reviewing the completed exercise, determine if there are any assumptions in their learning and if the strategies listed are accurate and realistic. Share some key insights with the class during the next period.
Case Study
Create a fictitious case study full of “research data” from varying sources. Encourage students to classify these as “credible” or “noncredible”. Share their opinion with a peer learner, then group share in class.
Analysis: Determine where gaps in analysis is occurring and reflect upon strategies that can improve student success in properly determining data credibility.
Mindmap
Create a mindmap that organizes criteria for credible and noncredible sources.
Analysis: Request that students share their organization and create a 2-way chart on the whiteboard to list the strategies in determining credible sources. Encourage students to update their mindmaps for future use.
Class Debate
Break the class into two teams where one cites examples of “claims” and the other as “counterclaims”. Hold a classroom debate where each student takes a turn vocalizing a fact, explaining why it falls into this category, and stating why it’s a credible source.
Analysis: Depending upon the class discussion, use their input to validate their ideas or correct misconceptions. To prepare them for the next lesson, ask if the fact changed their mind about their own position.
The 5 Why's
The 5 Why’s is a root cause analysis tool that is effective in building deeper connections to available knowledge. The student will review a fact provided by the instructor, and take a position on if the fact was retrieved from a reputable source. By asking “why” 5 times to each answer listed prior, the student can generate a decision tree for future use in determine source credibility.
Analysis: Create a class discussion surrounding the fact set and the 5 Why's. Take turns with each student so they can share a Why on their list or add a new one. Change instruction based upon learner difficulty or misperceptions.
