Peer Review for Pam

From Omar

A brief description of why the assessment activity was undertaken

Pam created her assessments to be able to understand the learning that her art students experience. And for this, she designed the learning activities so that the students would reference the rubric’s criteria when completing each learning activity. The assessment activities were also done to encouraging a deeper engagement with the learning concepts. Thus, the students were also required to critique their peer’s assignments in a virtual environment. In this regard, Pam explains “having critiques for every lesson will help students develop their art vocabulary and critical thinking skills.” The display of artwork in a gallery style also afforded the students an opportunity to view, analyze and interpret their own artwork, as well as that of their peers.

A brief description of the major, goals, objectives and intended learning outcomes

The learning objectives of the art lessons were hinged on the fact that after completing the lessons. The following would be evident: The students would be able to:

• define the meanings of: line, shape, and color.

• examine a piece of art and then describe the line, shape, and color of it.

• demonstrate their knowledge by completing the Edpuzzle game of multiple choices where they can look at the artwork, and answer questions about line, shape, and color.

• draw different types of lines, shapes, and mix the color of the wheel.

• create a composition, which they will then break down and describe the line, shape, and color.

An explanation of how the analysis was done and what methodology was used

• Pam’s use of Google Classroom does allow her to access important data and valuable feedback about the extent to which learning is taking pace. Additionally, it is possible for her to conduct data analysis by looking the data in relation to her teaching unit’s identified goals and learning objectives. In this regard, it is clear that the learning objectives, lesson content and activities, as well as technology, all worked in harmony to provide the learners with a technology-rich learning opportunity. It is particularly commendable that Pam incorporated the use of Google School for the learners to have access to lesson content and activities, as well as a platform to display their artwork.

A presentation of major findings

Overall, the lessons and activities were doable, and engaging. And more importantly, allowed each student to be as creative as they possibly can. Way-to-Go Pam!
