As we know, assessment should be an ongoing activity, not simply something we do at the end of a unit. For this reason, I have sometimes included a brief description of diagnostic, formative, and/or summative assessments that are important in the teaching of these various lessons. Refer to individual lessons for these daily assessments of student knowledge. By continually assessing the progress the students are making, you will be able to create lessons that are particularly suited to the needs of your students. Many of the worksheets and activities presented in this unit plan will assist you in assessing the knowledge of the students. This unit is particularly well suited to doing authentic assessment--especially for the final assessment. Continue reading for the description of how I intend to perform the final assessment.

Final Unit Assessment

The unit assessment will require a weekend visit to camp "No Where." Here the students will partake in activities where they can test the skills they have been working on during our two week unit on survival. This will be a culminating event that would require help from other staff and parents for supervision. Also, the students will need to have permission slips signed by their parents. (This is all assuming that I can get clearance from the school to conduct this event.)
 

Before the unit assessment is possible, there will be lessons devoted to learning and practicing safety procedures of survival skills completed before we arrive at camp.
