Beatty+PRE-ASSESSMENT

--As a class, we will first be reading the story of the Three Little Pigs. This story may be below the fourth grade reading level, however I chose to use it because it has a very distinct beginning, middle, and end. It also has 3 very clear events to solve the problem. After reading the story to the students, we will fill out a story map together using the overhead projector. The students will then be given a blank story web. Using the [|web], they will be able to brainstorm ideas for their very own story. Once they have successfully come up with a plot and events for their story, they will be asked to map it out in more detail using a story [|map]. The story map will then be graded according to a rubric. Once the story maps have been conferenced, the students will be given the opportunity to write their full story and share it with the class.

2/21/07- Kelly, This looks like a great way to preassess your students work. The web is a great way for students to brainstorm ideas that will create a concrete story line. Good Job, and I like the picture on your homepage! :) -Meg

3/2/07 - Kelly: Well done. I would actually say that you have both a pre-assessment and instructional activities here. Your pre-assessment could be the story map for the 3 little pigs, with each student filling out their own independently, which would give you some idea of how much they already know about sequencing and problem solving in stories. Based on that information, you would be able to structure your story writing activities based on how much students can already do (i.e., how much support each student would need). The activity you outline would then give you plenty of concrete writing to assess. (Dr. Adamy)
