Summative Assessment Rubric and Grading

Domain 3 Artifact 1

This is the prompt and rubric I used to assess students' summative assessments

The summative assessment asked students to write an original narrative that dealt with the topic of loyalty. There was no page restriction, so long as students included all parts of plot structure. Plot structure describes a series of events that create a story's distinct beginning, middle, and end. Throughout the unit, I gave students minilessons on elements required in a narrative, and students engaged in quick-writes to practice the skills necessary to complete this assignment.

The primary information on student learning that this assessment gave me was students’ writing proficiency, such as integrating plot structure and characterization, communicating a theme, using sensory details, and mastering language conventions. Additionally, the prompt for this narrative assessment directly dealt with our unit’s essential question, which was, who should a person be loyal to? The message and lesson (theme) students delivered through their narratives also told me the degree to which they understood how underlying themes evolved in our target text.
