ANIMALS COLORS AND SHAPES

EVALUATION

(10 MINUTES)

Ten points: Students were highly engaged in class discussions; were able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the purposes of color in the animal world; and correctly used different shapes to create unique and colorful pictures of animals that clearly identified where the particular animal lives and accurately portrayed what it looks like. Also students participated in class discussions; were able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the purposes of color in the animal world; and mostly used the correct shapes to create somewhat unique and colorful pictures of animals that vaguely identified where the particular animal lives and generally portrayed what it looks like.

Ten points: Students participated minimally in class discussions; were unable to demonstrate a basic understanding of the purposes of color in the animal world; and created incomplete pictures that did not clearly identify a particular animal and demonstrated a lack of understanding about what shapes might identify the animal they had attempted to create. Also, if the students complete the word search and the letter tiles very fast.
