Video: Using a Learning Progression to Support Self-Assessment and Writing about Themes in Literature: Small Group Work (3-5)
This video shows a teacher incorporating self-assessment into her lesson. The teacher is trying to move students toward CCSS 4.1 and 4.2 in reading literature, which refers to explaining specific details and examples from a text and determining a theme or central message. The teacher asks students to place their work along a writing learning progression where they think it best fits. Then students get feedback from one another on whether they believe it’s placed accurately along the progression. Students then develop new goals for themselves based on this feedback.
