Assessment
The Modelling the Tools lessons can be used for a range of grade levels.
Although this chart contains only the learner outcomes for Grade 10,
there is considerable alignment of these outcomes with those in other
grades. Check the current program of studies for grade level outcomes.
Criteria for Evaluation

Assessment for Learning (Formative)
Formative assessment provides opportunities for students to receive
feedback. Formative feedback is used solely to help students improve
their performance.
Ask students to use the Rubric for Evaluating Web Site
Credibility to guide their work as they complete
the task of evaluating a Web site. Encourage students to identify
areas of strength as well as areas for improvement. Students
could work with peers to provide coaching as to how they could
provide more specific and detailed evidence. Teachers can provide
specific and descriptive feedback to students on their initial
Web site evaluation.
The purpose for these formative opportunities is to help students
become aware of how to increase the quality of the evidence they
provide and to draw plausible conclusions based on sound evidence.
These ungraded opportunities for reflection and goal setting will
help students improve their performance on subsequent tasks.
Assessment of Learning (Summative)
Summative assessment takes place after instruction and after students
have had a chance to practise and receive feedback on their work.
Summative assessment provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate
what they know and can do.
The Rubric for Evaluating Web Site Credibility can
be used to evaluate student performance on subsequent tasks where
students are evaluating and/or comparing Web site credibility.
