Section 2.12
Assessment and Gallery Walk
Learning Goals
Include the unique perspective of others and reflect on one's own perspective to examine digital artifacts from multiple viewpoints from a diverse audience. (CRD-1.B)
Iterate on documents to communicate information with increased relevancy to a target audience. (CRD-1.B)
Objectives and General Descriptions
The objective of this section is to provide collaboration across teams in the form of feedback during a gallery walk. The purpose of receiving feedback from peers is to gather multiple perspectives apart aside from the student creators. This encourages students to think and design for a diverse audience in future projects.
Activity 2.12
A gallery walk is where students display their completed work and have an opportunity to see what their classmates have done on their projects. The recruitment artifact and the analysis of impact essay should have been added to the website. Students can view each others websites to see the different recruitment artifacts. Gallery walks allow students an opportunity to gain ideas and learn from each other. This can be an informal event or the teacher can supply feedback forms so that students are giving and receiving productive feedback from their peers. It is suggested to host a bigger gallery walk at the end of the semester or year and invite parents, teachers and administrators. Gallery walks are great opportunities to showcase computer science and drive interest in the program.
Assessment of ARC Challenge Project 2
Teachers should implement a variety of formative and summative assessments that meet the criteria of their school and district.
One option for a summative assessment is to grade the ARC projects and incorporate an individual written assessment for each student. The rubric can be found here. The scoring includes several written responses. These responses summarize the research that was done on the business client and also mimic several of the Create Task written response requirements. Teachers need to provide many opportunities for students to practice the Create task components throughout the year and give the students detailed feedback.
