Summative Assessment Example #1: Is filtered water really filtered?

This summative assignment is an ongoing process that happens throughout their water unit. It holds students accountable for their attendance as lessons are designed to help students accomplish their final presentation at the end of their unit. Students are asked to utilize the skills and lessons that they have learned as they are assessed on their understanding of the difficulties of water sustainability on not just a global scale, but within their very own country. Students are asked to present their findings from their Science experiments and then apply their English and Social Studies lessons to back up their growth within the unit. Although there is a rubric available, it is used as a general guide because students and teachers are to work collaboratively to set the expectations of this assignment. ***To view the lesson plan, please click on the image of interest

Summative Assessment Example #2: What can we do to make the world a better place?

This summative assessment is designed for a Grade 10 first nations class. However, it can be applied to any class setting from Grade 9 -12. I personally felt that I wanted to honor aboriginal epistemology in this assessment. Therefore, I thought it would be important to use a graphic novel as their platform for expression. Indigenous peoples learn through storytelling, imagery, and spirituality. The Graphic novel allows them to express their creativity.
