325 assessment syll.docxThe first 325 assignment was to create an assessment piece. As I mentioned elsewhere on this website, college students should always read their syllabi, and not believe in rumours about assignments without talking to their instructors (regardless of what the other seminar group is being told they're allowed to submit).
And so it goes.
This assignment was to kick off the start of our unit plans, as the final assessment piece or performance task relevant to the unit. Again, my experiences in the course Pedagogies of Place taught by Adam Young in Educational Foundations 315 affected my choices. On a field trip to Wanuskewin, I saw the obvious value in this place based learning, and thought I could easily connect it to a unit in social studies.
Considering how I didn't feel a good understanding of the way the social studies curricula are constructed in Saskatchewan, and that my placement was in middle years for the term, I decided to try social studies 9. I struggled for quite some time to come up with a unit, and how to choose outcomes and what to do with them.
The first piece I created in 325 was not satisfactory to my standards. In fact, when I handed it in, I had a strange confidence about it being great, while I knew in the back of my mind that I absolutely had no idea what I was doing.I would like to attribute this to my struggle with the learning curve. I got a lot of help from peers like Cait Williams-Untereiener, Kristine Jacklin, and Darius Simonot, particularly with picking exercises.

Bear this assessment in mind as the starting point from which I grew to incorporate differentiation, adaptation, and culturally responsive teaching through effective threading of assessments into my unit and lessons from here on.

The work that follows was made under the misunderstanding that I could create an assessment for any part of my unit. When I made this assessment, I had only a vague idea of what my unit plan was going to be. This is, therefore, an example of how UbD does not work, and how educators need to be sure to have the end goal in mind from the start.

325Wanuskewin Field Trip Jay edits for port.pdfI have yet to fix this piece and place it in the unit, but I will need to consider whether this would even be a possibility to do this trip. What if the school isn't near Saskatoon at all? Where would the nearest 5,000 year-old Cree archeological dig be? Coronach? Head-Smashed-In Bufallo Jump?
