Language function For this worksheet, students were to pull key vocabulary from a
reading, find images to help summarize the topic they were
reading and make a caption for the image. Additionally, the
students were to summarize their learning by using each of the
terms they pulled from the reading in a paragraph about the topic.
They were to highlight the words when they used them in the
paragraph. The purpose of this work was to read for information
and demonstrate their understanding of words they may not have
heard before or be comfortable with. The student was able to read
the information and pull unfamiliar words about the topic. After
reading the information though, the student was only able to use
one of the words in a sentence and not create a paragraph.
Vocabulary and symbols In the sentence the student wrote using the keyword from the
reading correctly to an extent. The term was a treaty; therefore the
student knew the word treaty, yet did not know the name of the
treaty. Therefore, the sentence the student constructed does not
make must sense. He also has a fragment as the end of the writing.
The student’s use of English made sense to an extent due to the
fragment at the end of the document.
Discourse The student instead of writing out the entire word “United States”
abbreviates the word as “u.s” Through this the student uses an
abbreviation incorrectly as it is missing the period after the “s.”
The student also has a fragment at the end of the summarize
section. As the student lists the key words, he does not capitalize
proper nouns (i.e. California is not capitalized). While the student
is still able to get the point of the assignment, the punctuation and
grammatical errors area distracting
Syntax Is the syntax appropriate? For example, do math problems
demonstrate adherence to clear rules and procedures? Are rules
followed adequately, given the task?
The syntax for the most part is not appropriate. While the student
understood some of what he was expected to do for the
assignment, there are many grammar issues within this
assignment. The student also did not finish the assignment.
