What to Assess

This plan is criterion-based;  therefore it will assess students' ability to demonstrate mastery of a specific set of criteria. In this case, the assessment criteria are derived from  the current legislation with regard to the curriculum, specifically that of Natural Science for Year One.

Learning intentions for the unit include:

1) Identify and value healthy habits to prevent illness

2) Understand the benefits of healthy eating habits.

In order to determine whether these intentions have been met, we must develop assessment criteria that reflect observable behaviour.  In this case, they will be:

1.1 Classifies foods according to whether they are eaten raw or cooked
1.2 Identifies foods which must be kept cool and foods which can be kept at room temperature

2.1 Identifies foods which should be eaten daily, sometimes, and infrequently
2.2 Identifies the five meals which should be eaten throughout the day for a balanced diet


Since this is a CLIL subject, we will also assess language use. The related assessment criteria are:

--Correctly uses the key vocabulary of the unit 
--Uses language structures to express relevant concepts
--Reads the key vocabulary words and associates the written word to the correct image
--Correctly writes the vocabulary words following a model.
