Activity Assignment #3 Module 6
Canary Pruitt
Description: For this assignment, refer to your submitted work for Activity
Assignment #1. Using the performance assessment information from that
assignment, complete the following: for Activity 3.1, simply relist the learning
target you used for that assignment with any recommended edits completed;
in Activity 3.2, give a more detailed account of the performance assessment.
Don’t forget to create an outcome in student friendly language.
1. Activity 3.1
List learning target(s) that can be assessed using a performance
assessment. Remember to include a student-friendly version of the learning
target.
Learning target: Students will be able to identify, define, and recognize
hazard symbols.
Student friendly version: Given a chemical, I can identify, recognize, and
define the hazard symbols.
2. Activity 3.2
Give a brief overview and explanation of the performance assessment
you would assign to evaluate student understanding of the learning
assessment.
1. The performance assessment I would assign is a laboratory investigation.
The students will use different “chemicals” that will be labeled with hazard
symbols on them. I won’t use the actual chemicals until they 100% know the
hazards symbols and are able to identify them. Then I will have instructions
for them that will instruct them to do place the “chemical” or mix the
“chemical” with something that could be a hazard. Doing this will show me if
they can point out the potential hazard before executing it and if they can
identify the hazard symbols.
3. Activity 3.3
Using the power point “Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning”,
complete the following:
 List two self-assessment strategies (strategy 4) that you would teach
students to use during the performance assessment you have given and
tell why.
- The two self-assessment strategies I would use are letting my students
identify strengths and areas of improvement. Also, allowing my students
to keep a journal and record it at the end of class. These strategies allow

all students to feel comfortable instead of asking their thoughts
altogether. They can tell you their thoughts privately in the journal
because a lot of students aren’t comfortable sharing their thoughts out
loud.
List one focused revision strategy (strategy 6) you would have students
use during the performance assessment you have given and tell why.
- I would have my students analyze my work for quality and make
suggestions for improvement. This strategy will allow me to see how each
student’s approach differs and if they list the same improvement
strategies. They can point out the mistakes and compare them to their
mistakes or see how they can improve their work.
List one self-reflection strategy (strategy 7) you would have students
use at the end of the performance assessment you have given and tell
why.
- I would let my students keep their own log of mastery towards a learning
target. This strategy will not only allow my students to learn some
responsibility, they are able to know and see how far they are with
mastering the learning target.
