Reaction to class week thirteen.

Tonights two activities included creating a ruberic for the multi genre project and creating different activities from a short story.

Creating the ruberic was very helpful in figuring out how to actually assess a students work and give it a grade, and for me this will be something that is very beneficial when I start student teaching and so forth. Creating ruberics is an integral part of creating a lesson plan, because if I were to give an assignment but have no way of being able to assess the student's work how will I know if they learned anything from the lesson?

Creating different activities from the short story was an activity in which creativity is at its peak. The possibilities for an activity are endless. Also one important thing to keep in mind is the age level or ability of the students you are teaching. Some activities might be too difficult for certain students depending on their proficiency levels, and being able to create a wide range of activities that are appropriate for your students level is important. Especially, if some activities are not very affective the first time they are used.
