• Purpose and Learning Outcome –
  

1. Purpose – The purpose of my assessment plan is to track, and collect data from student progress in the specified course area. In doing this, the areas in which students need improvement in, will be identified.
2. Learning Outcome – The learning outcome for the assessment plan is as follows; first grade students will be able to identify and match animals to their natural habitat. They will be able to make the sounds and recreate their living habits in a model scale.

• Assessment Context - The activity which students will be given, will consist of flashcards containing pictures of animals, and flashcards containing the habitats which the animals live in. Students will be given the opportunity to match the animal with the habitat. This activity will demonstrate the students learned knowledge, by their ability to match the animal to the habitat. As well as using technology watching videos of the animals as eat, sleep and create their homes.
• Holistic Rubric – *Blooms Taxonomy – Blooms Taxonomy may be used to adjust the level of cognitive rigor in assignment.

Which card matches the alligator? Tropical river Which card matches a cave in the forest? Black bear. listen to a bear growl and know that it is a bear by using their sense of hearing.
