Use of alternative assessments. So far this semester I have only used one alternate assessment other than tests. I used a prezi assignment to assess my students on their knowledge of the Spanish American war. The students had to create a timeline on prezi including events that happened before, during, and after the war. The students had to have comprehensive information and images to improve the effectiveness of their prezis. The students had to also cite sources for their information. This assessment assessed the students research abilites, citing abilities, and their knowledge of the Spanish American war. I liked the way that this assessment came out. The students really enjoyed the assignement, and it was a welcome break from what he had done in class before. This assessment was very comprehensive and it took over two entire class periods to complete it.
