F . Alternative Assessment:

Assessment is the process of determining students competence and progress. It

is the collection , interpretation, and use of information to help teachers make better
decisions to improve students learning.
Assessment involves measurement ,it may be done by directly observing
behaviors, characteristics and assigning numerical rating to whatever measured using
an instrument. In other words , assessment of learning is keeping track of how pupils are
learning after instruction. This is a moment- to moment occurrence that must be built
into the teaching process.
In this lesson ,the teacher uses peer feedback assessment where their peers are
encouraged to rate the performance of each group using rubrics. The rubrics will serve
as scoring guides or criteria for rating students performance. The key elements of a
rubric are the descriptors for what a performance is like within the allotted time of
possible performance levels.
In the same way,the teacher also uses assessment where the teacher will give
feedback on the processes and performances made by each group before , during and
after presentation. She will also rate the responsibilities given to each member and the
responsibilities of the audience as they give critique to the performances of the other
groups.

Rubric
Check the appropriate column where 5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest based on the
given indicator.

1.The group work was a result of planning and active

participation of every member
2. The group followed instructions but added creative
Innovations.
3. Each member shared his/her resources and talents
for the success of the groups task
4.The students manifested enjoyment in working with
The group.
5.The performance of the groups is very creative and
impressive.
Rating : Total score x 10 + 50 = 100%
Ex.

= 5x 10 = 50 + 50 = 100

G. Reflection Phase 1:
The lesson demonstrates the use of integrated skills.This is appropriate for Third
Graders as they may be able to use the language and have comprehension skills better .
The alternative assessment used is Performance Assessment and Peer Assessment
where the peers not only the teacher will give feedbacks on the presentations made by
each group.
This will also help the teacher to find out who needs more help in emoting , drawing ,
imitating and acting.
The rubrics will also help to measure in setting the expectation and to check
whether rules were met and followed.
The students are also required to pay attention as each group will present because
they will be given the chance to ask , discuss , and critique their peers performance.
This is appropriate for Third Graders as this will encourage more of their critical
thinking and creativity with the help of their peers and teachers. It also encourage group
work and collaboration.
