When reviewing the Georgia Performance Standards on line, I was thinking about how to align my MVL project with these standard. In the power point that the Georgia Performance Standards site provides, there are some key slides that explain why an assignment such as this would work well in the classroom.
This slide talks about the importance of a culminating assignment where students produce work as evidence of skills and knowledge gained throughout the unit.
As seen above, culminating activities meet many standards because they allow for students growth throughout the assignment. It gives students opportunities to evaluate their work product throughout the assignment and to demonstrate their growth by changing their finished product to reflect that growth. It also provides teachers with the opportunity to have students demonstrate their product in “nonlinguistic, written, and spoken presentations.”
The MVL project gives students multiple opportunities to provide evidence of learning throughout the assignment.
