Evaluate & Revise

Teacher-to-Student Evaluation: Students will be graded individually and as a group. The rubric will indicate how students are evaluated (group or individual) and what objectives were meet. All students will receive their own rubrics via e-mail. Click here to view the rubric.

Peer Evaluation: In order for the teacher to evaluate the contributions of all the group members, each group member will have to fill out a peer evaluation form.

Peer Evaluation Form
Group Members:
Demonstrative Speech Topic:
Answer the following in complete sentences. Be honest and specific.
1.   Explain what each member of the group did to contribute to the final product of your group presentation.
2.   Are there any complaints that you would like to make about your group members?
3.   If you could give each member of your group a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F) what grade would you assign each person and why?

Teacher Evaluation: Teacher will evaluate the success of each of his/her objectives by asking the following questions:
-    Were students able to create a digital demonstrative speech according to teacher’s criteria?
-    Were students able to work collaboratively in their groups?
-    Were students able to demonstrate a task through digital media according to criteria?
-    Were students able to critique other group productions?
-    Were students able to create a script concerning their digital demonstrative speech?
 
Revisions:
-    Next time, provide more instruction about filler material. Most groups did not anticipate silent periods or did not know how to use it properly. Perhaps do exercises in which I show them a speech where there are a lot of silent periods and asking them to tell me how they would fill the silent periods. Students would still be able to perform this through their blogs. 

-   
Give student practice in critiquing speech. Critiques were mostly uninformative “good jobs” or based on biases of the students (i.e. “she stole my boyfriend, so I’ll give her a bad grade”). Perhaps, add this as an assignment during the part in the lesson plan where I provide speech examples and then ask students to critique them.  Students would still be able to do this through their blogs.

-    Next time, give students the opportunity to choose their own groups. A few of the groups had problems with at least one person not participating or leaving other group members to do most of the work.

-    Next time, assign topics to the groups. Some groups had a difficult time choosing a topic that was practical for a three to five minute presentation or a topic that was easy to demonstrate through a digital camera. For example, one group tried to demonstrate how to sew, but the camera was not fit to pick up small details, so it was difficult to see some of the steps.
