Unschooled Choice Board and Rubric

Unschooled Choice Board and Rubric
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Creative Writing, Language Development, Vocabulary, Grade 4, 5, 6, Rubrics, Teacher Tools

Choice boards are a great way to reach many interests and abilities in diverse classrooms. Whether needing to differentiate higher or lower, the variety of assignment options allows for student choice at their appropriate response level, and allows teachers to see what students truly grasp from the texts they are reading. Unschooled , written by Allan Woodrow is a novel appropriate for 4th through 6th grades. The choice board includes nine activities and multiple rubrics for teacher choice in grading. The tasks are as follows: creating a book jacket (summarizing) designing strategies to deal with bullies (social emotional learning) persuasive writing + presentation (plot) personal collage understanding sportsmanship (theme) reflective writing + presentation compare and contrasting (characters) event planning (social studies cross curriculum with map skills) paragraph writing Each activity included either has a direction sheet with specific instructions or an actual worksheet to guide them through the tasks they fill out. The expectation is set for students to complete three activities in a tic-tac-toe format, but can be utilized in different ways in each classroom. Rubrics are included that allow for open response (and more information included from students), as well as teacher choice in how to assess student knowledge.
