VII. Comprehensive Assessment
These assessment examples use both conventional and performance based tasks. Conventional assessments are typically a paper and pencil classroom test designed by the teacher which includes either fill-in-the-blank, short answer, matching, multiple choice or true/false questions. Here is an example of a conventional assessment using matching.
Conventional Assessment:
Using photos included (note: teacher can readily find these pictures on the internet), match the names of the walls shown below to the correct photo:
a. (PHOTO of the Berlin Wall)
b. (PHOTO of Lascaux Cave)
c. etc.
| "I am called..." |
| The Great Wall of China: ___ | Aborigine Wall Art: __
|
|
The Lascaux Cave in France: ___ | The Western Wall: ___
|
|
Mahabalipuram’s Animal Walls: ___ | Muslim Walls of Mecca: ___
|
|
Great Zimbabwe: ___ | City of the Sun in Peru: ___
|
|
The Taos Pueblo: ___ | Diego Rivera’s Murals: ___
|
|
Canadian Museum of Civilization: __ | Vietnam Veterans Memorial: ___
|
|
Nelson Mandela's Prison Walls: ___ | The Berlin Wall: ___
|
Performance based assessment:
Performance based assessment evaluates students based on their performance in completing a task. This is an example of a performance based assessment. The students must listen to the teacher-selected music and decide which culture it is from. The music can be obtained through either the public library or via Amazon.com. Some of the CD's I was interested in using (however, I have not yet listened to them) are:
Phases of the Moon: Traditional Chinese Music
Music and Song from Germany
The Most Popular Songs from Isreal
South African Legends
Listen to the music the teacher plays and fill in the name of the wall this music would most likely be played around:
| "I would most likely hear..." |

Song #2 - _______________________________________________________
Song #3 - _______________________________________________________ |
