Affective Assessment:

[|My Attitude About Writing.doc]

Grade Level: fourth grade

Content: attitudes about writing

objectives: to gain an understanding of the students attitudes about writing.

Assessment: survey about student attitudes about writing. I chose to do this affective assessment on writing because I knew that the students had just begun working on a research paper project where they had free reign to pick any topic they wanted as long as they were able to find three sources,on the topic, one of which had to be a book.

Analysis of data: All the students answered all of the questions truthfully, some do enjoy writing most were indifferent or hated it. All of the students are currently working on a small research project on a topic of their own choosing.

Samples of student work:

Recommendations for future instruction of the entire class: I was only able to give this survey to a small group of students in the future I would like to give the survey to the whole class, and maybe ask more question about what students think about their own writing.

Recommendations for the sample students:

High Performer- Work on keeping this student focused on main ideas, and being concise in their writing (according to the teacher this student writes novels when a paragraph would suffice).

Low performer- work on bring this students interest into their writing, give them more chances to write scary stories, and work on self evaluation so the student can be objective about what does a doesn't need work in their writing.
