Improv, Interview, and Skit Instruction and Assessment Rubrics
Social Studies, Not Grade Specific, Teacher Tools, Assessments
Improv, Interview, and Skit Instruction and Assessment Rubrics Over the thirty-two years I taught, I was committed to a differentiated instruction practice. “Differentiated Instruction” is a teaching method in which the number of students who perform well is increased by offering a variety of equivalent ways to learn and show what they have learned. It is a far more satisfying method for teacher and student to offer alternative work product options of equivalent difficulty. This would be in contrast to a traditional method where everyone takes the same test at the end of a unit. While maintaining a healthy respect for traditional assessments in high stakes situations and the usefulness of standardized testing, one can still create a classroom environment where students can demonstrate their progress through multiple means. I have a large collection of rubrics for different kinds of "capstone" assignments for teaching social studies. This collection includes: scoring rubrics for grading student performances in acting improv activities (these can be really fun), interview test, and short skits. Instructions for seven different improv activities are also included. Differentiated instruction started to became popular in the late 1990s. In my view, many did not do this well because they left out an important feature: if a student has an alternative assignment to the unit test, that assignment must be of equivalent difficulty. This is a challenging feat to accomplish for the teacher, but not impossible. One way to do this is using a statistical tool called z-score standardization. In this way, scores on the traditional test and scores on the alternative assignment can be compared such that one can see how more or less difficult the alternative task is and, consequently, how to score it.

This product is perfect for 3rd grade math standards review. It's a worksheet where students review addition and subtraction within 1000. It also has students practice subtracting across zeros. While it was created for the 3rd grade standard of writing, 3.NBT.2, it would be a great review for 4th graders before you begin greater addition and subtraction. I've set these worksheets up so students have room to show their work. The numbers are all lined up nicely, and each place is its own box. I know that when students are learning to subtract across zeros, they need a lot of room to work with. These 3 worksheets would work well for independent practice, review later in the year, or even as an assessment.

Guided Reading Level L - The Arctic Fox (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Pre-Reading, Language Development, Life Sciences, Science, Vocabulary, Animals, Grade 1, 2, 3, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments
This Guided Reading Book - The Arctic Fox (Level L) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Arctic Fox: A Winter Survivor Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: Life Science Primary Topic: Arctic fox adaptations for cold-weather survival Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): L What This Book Teaches Best Explains the Arctic fox’s habitat (“far north”) and names the tundra as a vast, treeless land with deep winter snow. Describes seasonal camouflage: white winter fur to hide, and brown/gray summer fur to blend with rocks and plants. Shows physical adaptations that help the fox stay warm and move safely (small rounded ears; thick fur on paws like “warm socks”). Teaches hunting behaviors using precise actions and vocabulary (hearing prey under snow; pouncing by leaping and diving head-first). Introduces animal homes and young: a den as tunnels under hills/rocks, and baby foxes called kits born in spring. Learning Goals Describe where the Arctic fox lives and what the tundra is. Explain how the Arctic fox’s fur color helps it in winter and in summer. Describe two body features that help the Arctic fox stay warm in freezing weather. Explain how the Arctic fox finds prey under the snow using its hearing. Describe what “pouncing” is and how it helps the fox catch food. Describe what a den is and what kits do as they grow. Key Vocabulary From the Text tundra — cold, treeless land in the far north. lemmings — small animals the fox can hunt. prey — an animal another animal hunts and eats. pouncing — leaping and diving quickly to catch food. den — a home or shelter where an animal lives. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What body parts or behaviors might help an animal stay warm in a cold, windy place? Comprehension questions: How does the Arctic fox’s fur help it hide in winter and in summer? What does the fox do with its tail when it goes to sleep? How does pouncing help the Arctic fox catch its food? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.
