Coleman UPLAN Summative Assessment

I definitely found both the positive and constructive feedback I received on my UPLAN rationale useful when making my Summative Assessment. A suggestion that was made to me was to be able to explain how my unit is relevant to students with diverse learning backgrounds. My unit focuses on narrative writing, particularly The Diary of Anne Frank. This unit will be a chance to expose students to the different forms of narrative writing, such as letters, essays, and poems. The assessment that I am using requires students to get experience writing in all of these different styles. As long as they include one journal entry in each of the aforementioned styles, they get to choose whichever they like for their remaining 4 journal entries. They also are able to include different artistic mediums (music, movie/tv clips, poems, pictures, etc) into their journal entries (which will be on Tumblr). Students like to express themselves differently and this project opens up a lot of opportunity for them to explore their own writing style and to share their opinions on a text in a variety of ways.
