Assessment
Kelly and I sat down to talk about the way in which we would assess the final project, or slam poem. While discussing, we had a great discussion about what it was we wanted students to get out of participating in our project. We realized quickly we would need three separate rubrics; one for the poem itself, one for the presentation, and one for the video component.
When discussing the poem itself, we discussed that we wanted students to be assessed on how well they convey their Call to Action in their poem. We created a hand out that will hopefully help scaffold the students through the process of writing a slam poem. We included words we wanted the students to use, poetic devices, their personal connection to the call to action as well as how the call aids in reconciliation. Students will be asked to add a personal connection to the call to action they focus on.
The presentation rubric will involve tone, clarity, volume, eye contact, etc. We decided that the students will not be graded while they present on the final evening, rather we will use the dress rehearsal to grade their presentation.
The video rubric we have not yet created; however, we have discussed key aspects that the students will need to include. These aspects include drumming, still and moving images, and an original Coast Salish inspired piece of art. We will also have students pay attention to the images they have in their video and the meaning the have in their poem. Students will need to ensure the images selected are connected with the parts of the poem in which they are used.
For now, we're simply keeping track of their progress and providing feedback as needed. The students continue to amaze us with their ideas and enthusiasm.
