The Victorian Essential Learning Standards supports a combination of assessment practices:
· assessment of learning (summative) · assessment for learning (formative) · assessment as learning (ongoing). When assessing student achievement use the table below which shows a range of assessment criteria, tools and strategies applicable to this unit. // Working in teams  // || · take on different roles and responsibilities  || teacher observes and records students’ role taking abilities. || // Individual learner   // || §  develop and implement a plan to complete tasks within a time frame  || complete Action planner and required work in time frame. || // Reading // || §  research a topic with unfamiliar ideas and information for deep understanding. ||  read information and take notes from resources used. || // Writing  // || §  employ a variety of strategies for note-taking, planning, editing and proofreading. ||  teacher will observe and monitor the strategies students use. || // Speaking and listening  // || §  plan rehearse and make a presentation on their research findings. ||  teacher to observe during ‘reporting back’ of research findings. || // Historical knowledge   // // and understanding  // || §  explain significant events in the development of the Great Wall §  describe the contribution of significant people in the development of the Great Wall. ||  students multimedia presentation to show that they have understood the development and history of the Great Wall.

At the final presentation, each pair of students takes a turn to present their display to their peers and to answer any questions put to them after their performance. **Assessment of learning** The teacher will observe and record each presentation following the criteria for the assessment focus and provide feedback where appropriate. Students will complete a self assessment task ‘THE FOUR RRRR’s (see Unit resources, Appendix 9) at the conclusion of the unit. **Research criteria and rubric** Students create an A – Z multimedia presentation that will show the results of their research into the history of the development of the Great Wall of China and its impact on China in 2007. Their presentation can be on a special category or a random A – Z list of words that they have found during their research. **Rubric ** ** Assessment criteria ** || 1. ability to create a colourful title using Word Art or similar program 2. ability to select relevant words to complete an alphabet that would give information about the Great Wall of China 3. ability to select an appropriate image and to insert it into a multimedia presentation. ||  Title of category or focus 26 slides from A–Z Each slide contains a single word.
