Remarks

💷 In your asynchronous work you looked at the directions and rubric for the Create Performance Task. You also looked at key requirements of the task in more depth. In this session, we are going to put it all together and look at the project and the rubric together and grade sample projects.

(24 minutes) Group Scoring

💷 Have teachers work in breakout rooms to score Create PT Samples 1 and 2 found in U8L1. Participants should open up the video and the written response (WR).

While scoring the samples, be sure to jot down:

  • The score for each row.
  • Why are you giving them the score?
  • What are they missing?

After they are done scoring each sample, each group should add an X to the chart in the slides (also pictured below) if they gave the sample the point for a given row in the rubric.

Producer support: Put participants in groups of 3 in breakout rooms for 24 minutes.

Discussion (20 minutes)

(20 minutes) 💷 Whole Group Share Out

(4 minutes) Use the chart described above to collect and record each table’s scoring for their samples. Cover the following questions during your discussion:

  • Do we all agree on scores?
  • Did we agree on what was present or missing?
  • What do we disagree on?

(10 minutes) 💷 Individual Review

Give participants about 10 minutes to individually look at the “answers” to the task by reviewing the annotated samples linked in the U8L1 lesson plan.

(5 minutes) 💷 Discussion

  • What insights do you have about how the rubric was applied?
  • What questions do you have about how the rubric was applied by the College Board?

(1 minute) 💷 Wrap Up

Have participants write down 1-2 takeaways they will want to stress with students now that they have seen the task in its entirety.
