About This Resource

This summative format asks students to choose a previously completed activity to expand upon and/or transform to create their summative piece. In tandem, students are also asked to select – from a curated list of relevant competencies – which they wish to develop/focus on throughout their project. Through the student’s proposal and the teacher’s feedback on this proposal, student and teacher co-create the criteria of where and how each student will demonstrate their competencies to me. This summative structure was originally created for a sonnets unit, however, it can be adapted for many different units and subjects. Contents: - DIY Summative Overview; - Planning/criteria-building document (example -- for sonnets unit); - Planning/criteria-building document (template -- for any unit)
Design-it-Yourself Summative (sonnets unit & others)
