11-6-08 - The 5 E Model

The first few minutes of class were spent talking about where this class is going to go in the next 6 weeks and what is all going to be required of us. We received an updated schedule that includes the major assignments and quizzes that we still have to do and when they are going to be due. This little half sheet of pager was really appreciated by me! With my busy schedule this semester and with all the assignments that I have to keep straight from all of my classes, it is nice to be able to see the plan for the rest of the semester so that I can find ways to best manage my time between all of my commitments.

We then moved into a short lecture and then a lab activity regarding the 5 E Model. Lecture focused on how to apply the 5 E model to assessment. Then we did a lab activity, but the goal of the lab was for us to create a performance assessment for the lab using the 5 E model. This lab turned out to be a little more difficult that I first thought. We were given minimal directions for the lab activity and were assigned add to those directions however we wanted to make our assessment. After figuring out how to do this, the task did not seem that bad, but I know that I will still need some practice creating assessment like this if I want to become proficient at it.
