we make?
Test
Act
such as
The function of the toy
(how it works, what it I
used for, how you play
with it?)
What is the toy made
from? (How this differs
to those from the story)
What are the
similarities and
different to toys they
play with?
The toys the students bring
in will be compared to the
toys of the past.
Students will be given a
worksheet (see appendix 4)
with an image from the past,
they must draw the
equivalent image as it is it
the future. This allows for
students to use their
knowledge to identify the
object and what it looks like
in the present.

Assessment
What knowledge and concepts and skills will you assess?
First brainstorming
activity (on
butchers paper)
The knowledge and concepts that will be assessed is the ability to correctly
identify between the past and present. The students will have opportunities to
identify the similarities and differences between the past and present through
drawing, images, recounts and discussion. The skills being assessed include
being able to identify the differences and similarities between the past and
present and the reasons why they think this. The students will need to
incorporate questioning skills and oral strategies in order to discuss and gain
understandings from the conversations with their grandparents. The students
will need to increase these oral skills to recount to the class what they have
learnt.
What are your assessment strategies?
The formative assessment strategies will be in the form of ongoing assessment
where students will be assessed through the use of observational checklists,
anecdotal records and an analysis of the contributions made to the class
discussions. The summative assessment will be in terms of the work samples
produced in terms of the worksheet, drawings and oral presentation of their
findings.
