Assessments in Tanach
What kinds of assessments have you seen in your classroom? What was their purpose? What might you learn from them?(think of the three concentric circles of EU; something worth knowing; something worth being familiar with) -tests, worksheets, essays, discussions, interpretive art, write your own stories, write a response. Most of it is stuff work knowing. Only a small part requires the students to enter the enduring understanding realm, like essays that ask them to reflect on larger issues of the text. Some projects could access the EU if the students weren't prompted so much and provided with most of the information. There was a project, called interpretive midrash that asked the students to interpret some aspect of what it meant to be a prophet based on one of the texts we discussed in the class and then to reflect and share their artistic choices.
