What are the components of -Aligned to Standards
your assessment? -Clear Measurement criteria
-Extended written tasks
-Measure student performance
in 3 or more ways
-Portfolio based
Differentiation: Students
may find a design that
interests them in a
magazine. They may
draw the design on white
drawing paper. They may
then choose arbitrary
colors to complete the

rubric.
Criteria:
1. Choose 4
sepereate things
that interest you
visually:
Ex. Geometry , Organic
shpes, trees , etc.
2. Color the first
