Bloom’s Level of Critical Thinking:

Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating
Description of how to implement in the class: Students will be using Microsoft Forms to evaluate
their opinions before and after our unit on the criminal justice system in the United States. The Forms
survey will act as an informal pre and post assessment for students. The pre-assessment will be taken
at the beginning of class on the very first day of the lesson and the post assessment will take place
after the class debate on the last day. The data will be used to show students how their opinions have
changed after thoroughly researching the American criminal justice system and its effects on our
society.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): I believe the LoTi level for the Forms assessment
overall is a level 3: Infusion. The pre-assessment is probably just a LoTi level 1, as it brings general
awareness to students. By the post assessment on Forms, however, students using higher order
thinking from the analysis and research that has been done to answer the survey questions. Some
questions on the survey are free response to allow students to dig deep and think critically about the
content.
Description of the sample spreadsheet and graph/chart provided *: Students will either follow
the QR code that I will have displayed on the board or follow the link provided to them in their
student email. Once the link is followed, a short 10 question survey will appear before students. For
the pre-assessment, terms and principles of the criminal justice system may seem foreign to students.
After a few days of research, students will access the same survey in the post assessment. Students
will answer the same 10 questions, but with the new found knowledge gained from evaluating our
criminal justice system.
Other comments about your proposed spreadsheet/graph/chart activity: This forms survey will
be a great way for students to see how their opinions have changed after conducting student lead
research on the American criminal justice system.
