Learning Targets Final Draft

Based on the feedback offered in class and the comments posted by my professor and peers, I have revised the following learning targets to be more flexible with regard to assessment so that they can be met by various means and tasks.

1. Students effectively manage individual roles and limited class time to prepare a final group product.

• Developmental learning target
• Alter, ask, choose, complete, comply, contribute, follow, help, influence, lead, order, organize, plan, work, revise, solve (Krathwohl)

2. Students annotate literature books to aid comprehension and analysis of a primary text.

• Developmental learning target
• Criticize, define, identify, infer, predict (Bloom)
• Defend, discuss, respond, question (Krathwohl)

3. Students summarize the main events, ideas and themes of a primary text.

• Mastery learning target

4. Students use textual information to support analysis of major characters.

• Mastery learning target

5. Students evaluate the author’s use of specific literary devices to convey the theme of the work.
