Assessment:
Possible opportunities for assessment:
Week 1:
• Story plates offer an opportunity to assess childrens understanding of the sequence of the story ‘Room on the Broom’
• The oral re-tellings of the story can be taped when performed in the small groups which allows teacher to assess not only the performance aspect but linked with observations, whether they know the differences between written and oral versions. It can also begin to contribute to assessment of childrens abilities to use synonyms (see week 3)
Week 2:
• The role on the wall, hot-seating and role-play in groups assesses whether children are able to identify with characters from the stories – most of this assessment will need to be through observation although the whole-class role on the wall could be used as written evidence.
• Wanted posters offer written evidence for whether the children are able to identify with characters. As the focus is on using descriptive words, this poster also good opportunities to assess this.
• Musical soundtrack assesses childrens also assesses childrens understanding of characters feelings and also offers assessment opportunities for music.
Week 3:
• Photograph story map allows opportunities to assess understanding of sequence as in week 1. This time it is of the story ‘The smartest Giant’
• The word banks the children create allows assessment of the childrens ability to understand the purpose of a thesaurus as well as their skills in using it. This needs to be combined with observations to make sure that it isn’t just childrens inability to write that is holding them back etc.
• The book review is the final piece of work to be created from this scheme and in one sense is the main piece. Not only does it allow the teacher to assess their understanding of a particular book but also their writing skills. Children have had time to focus on their writing and redrafting for this piece of work and so it will offer a god indication of their current writing ability.
Other:
Children will also have opportunities to listen to stories by Julia Donaldson when the teacher reads aloud to the children. Some examples might include picture books such: The Snail and the Whale, A squash and a squeeze and Charlie Cook’s favourite book. However, it would probably also include one of her longer pieces of fiction which can be read from on a daily basis. For example: The Giants and the Joneses which is in the process of being made into a film. Children may also want to have opportunities to read some of poetry and sing some of her songs (many of her well known stories have an accompanying song).
