1 ASSESSMENT PLAN: CATHOLIC MORALITY UNIT (Lesson 13, 14, and 15) 1 Introduction/Background: This threeweek unit on Catholic morals is broke into three sub-lessons. The first lesson, Freedom and Responsibility, is designed to teach students that God gives us the freedom to choose to do right or to do wrong. This Subject: Confirmation (Religious Education) Topic: Catholic Morality Grade: 7 Unit Duration: 3 Weeks freedom, however, means we are responsible for the choices we make. Lesson 2, Valuing Life, focuses on the Catholic social justice principle of the sanctity (or valuing) of all human life. In this lesson, students learn that all human life is precious and is a gift from God. Lesson 3, Being Virtuous, teaches students that we are called for what is right, just and holy. When taken as a whole, this unit teaches students that God has given man dignity because he is created in God's image; therefore, man is precious and is called to holiness. This is the fifth unit in the 7 th Grade Confirmation curriculum and naturally follows previous units that taught God's Revelation, about the Trinity, Jesus Christ, and the Church. While previous lessons taught about God and his Church, this unit teaches how Catholics are personally changed as a result of who God is and what he has done for us. Mastery of these lessons on morality is important before students move on to units teaching about the Sacraments (Unit 6) and the Kingdom of God (Unit 7). After completing these lessons, students will be prepared to see how they are to live their Catholic faith in the world and how they are called to participate in the New Evangelization for the betterment of God's Kingdom. Learning Targets: (Learning target/objectives are aligned with standards outlined in the Religion Curriculum Guidelines for Catechesis, grades 6-8, Diocese of Bismarck, January 28, These standards are not numbered; CCC stands for Catechism of the Catholic Church, cross referenced with Diocesan standards).

Assessment (1) Pre-Assessment (Diagnostic) (2, 3, 4) Effective Questioning & Anecdotal Records (5) Self- Assessment (Exit Ticket) (6) Self- Assessment (Reflection) (7) Self- Assessment (Exit Survey) (8) Summative (Graded) Assessment Process & Purpose of Assessment Definition: Formative and formal (written) assessment used to identify what the learner knows about the upcoming standard & topic. This assessment is conducted one week prior to the start of the new unit and surveys prior knowledge of each upcoming lesson and surveys student knowledge of prerequisite knowledge. Purpose: Allows the teacher to analyze students' strengths & weaknesses in order to tailor upcoming unit lesson plans to meet individual needs. Learning Targets Met: OBJs 13.1, 13.2, 14.1, 14.2, 15.2 Definition: An informal formative assessment in the form of a "mental probe" that guides a student's thinking toward an appropriate response. Results of this mental probe are written in note-form and are taken from my personal observation of the student. Purpose: Questions allow the teacher to review learning, processes info, check memory to order to provide data for immediate instruction & planning if required. When appropriate, questions will aim at the target level of learning (Bloom's Taxonomy). Learning Targets Met: OBJs 13.1, 13.2, 14.1, 14.2, 15.1, and 15.2 Definition: A formative informal assessment where students self-assess their level of learning based on Bloom's taxonomy. Purpose: The exit ticket offers little in the way of teacher feedback, but allows the student to review lesson objectives and assess their level of learning for the class period. Learning Targets Met: OBJs 13. and 13.2 Definition: A formative assessment where student's thoughts are recorded so they can be saved, organized, and read later. Students will be directed on what topic to focus their reflection. Purpose: Reflections serve two purposes: (1) give the student the opportunity to cognitively analyze the lesson content (higher-learning skills), and (2) allow the teacher to analyze understanding. Learning Targets Met: OBJs 14.1 and 14.2 Definition: A questionnaire used to identify specific learning from the student. Students will write their answers on index cards and turn them in before leaving class. Purpose: Lesson exit survey formative assessments for teacher & student to check learning to identify needed review prior to covering new material. Learning Targets Met: OBJs 15.1 and 15.2 Definition: The Unit Quiz is a formal, written test given at the end of the unit. It is comprehensive in nature, in that it covers material from each of the three lessons, which make up the unit. Purpose: This test will be used by the teacher to assess content knowledge and will be communicated to parents and the administration in the form of a final letter grade. This assessment is worth 30 points. Learning Targets Met: OBJs 13.1, 13.2, 14.1, 14.2, 15.1, and 15.2
