In this section, you will analyze data to explain progress and achievement toward "showcase" lesson objective(s) demonstrated

by your whole class and then focus on three (3) individual students (one low, one average, and one high performer). Whole class: The following table displays the pre- and post-assessment scores of the students in my third grade clinical class: Student Number (#): 1 2 3 4 5 6 (low performing student) 7 (average performing student) 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 (high performing student) 17 18 19 20 21 Pre-Assessment Score: Post Assessment Score:

Overall, I was satisfied with the scores of the pre and post assessment. I was expecting good scores on both the pre and post assessment because students have talked about slavery in great detail before this lesson. 10 out of 21 students made exceptionally well on both the pre and post assessment (scoring 3

for both). Only one student scored a 0 on the pre-assessment, but improved to a score of 2 on the post assessment. This particular score shocked me because this student is considered gifted and talented and usually scores above average. The only way a student could have received a 0 on either assessment was by not completing the assignment, at all. Most students improved, if not stayed the same, on the post assessment. However, I had two students who scored lower on the post assessment than they did on the pre-assessment. Because I have students who are ADHD and some students, who for lack of a better word, may be called lazy with their school work, their work sometimes reflects it. I had no students score a 0 on both assessments. Overall, I believe that these results show that the students did benefit from this read-aloud/social studies lesson. Individuals: I have chosen three individual students to analyze their learning from this lesson. I chose one high performing student, student #16; a average performing student, student #7; and a low performing student, student #6. Student #16 scored a three on the pre-assessment. She wrote full, complete sentences in her notebook that reflected her advanced knowledge of slavery. During the lesson, the student stayed on task and raised her hand to answer several questions. This student also scored a 3 on the post assessment. Her overall performance did not surprise me at all. This student, in particular, is a high-achieving and hardworking student. She is always focused and ready to learn. Student #7 scored a two on the pre-assessment. He wrote two complete sentences that reflected his knowledge of slavery. However, the assignment was to write three things that you already know about slavery. The students were provided with more than enough time to write down three items. However, his two items were well-written and true statements. During the lesson, the student seemed to pay attention. He did not volunteer to answer any questions or provide any feedback during the Venn diagram. However, when called on, he provided an answer. This student improved on the postassessment, scoring a 3. His work was complete and reflected how much he has learned during the lesson.

Student #6 scored a zero on the pre-assessment. He did not attempt to write down anything that he already knew about slavery. He wrote down his name, number, and things I know about slavery. During the lesson, the student seemed off-task and unresponsive to the questions asked. The post assessment, however, showed much improvement. During the post assessment, I stood near his desk for a length of time. By doing that, I was hoping that he would begin writing, and it worked. He wrote enough to score a two on this assessment. Pre-, during, and post- assessments from Student #16, Student #7, and Student #6 are also attached.
