Assessment Rubric for Evaluating Aims in a Multi-Station Lesson Subject Integration Examples: Language and Mathematics in a Movement Lesson The Impact of Motor Skills on Grade R Learning Readiness

QUESTION 3.2 Here is a simple rubric plan: 1. Achievement of Learning Goals: The students successfully completed the tasks as per the lesson plan. Scoring: - Exceed expectation: All objectives achieved and student shows a good understanding about the topic. - Meets Expectation: All objectives achieved - Below expectation: Not all objectives achieved 2. Understanding: The students understand the lesson and can explain the content. Scoring: - Exceed expectation: Excellent understanding, can explain confidently. - Meets Expectation: Good understanding, and can explain with minor hesitations. - Below expectation: Poor understanding, struggles to explain. 3. Participation: The students actively participated in all activities. Scoring: - Exceed expectation: Actively participates and engages with others. - Meets Expectation: Participates throughout the lesson. - Below expectation: Not always engaged, minimal participation. 4. Application: The students can apply the learning to a new context. Scoring: - Exceed expectation: Can apply understanding to a new context confidently. - Meets Expectation: Can apply knowledge quite effectively. - Below expectation: Struggles to apply knowledge to a different context. QUESTION 4.1 Language Integration: During the movement lesson, encourage students to describe their movements using various adjectives. This not only enhances their language skills but also makes them conscious of their movement. Mathematics Integration: Incorporate counting in the physical activity like in jumping jacks, hops, or any movement that repeats. This will test their numerical skills and render learning an interesting process. QUESTION 4.2 Motor skills greatly contribute to the readiness of learners in Grade R. They aid in the development of gross motor skills which are linked with body coordination, balance and awareness. It also helps in the development of fine motor skills which focuses on smaller movements that occur in the wrists, hands, fingers, and the feet and toes, crucial for writing, buttoning, and manipulating small objects. QUESTION 5.1 Spatial Awareness: Incorporate obstacle navigation games where learners are required to guide themselves around a space with objects. This develops their understanding regarding the location of objects relative to their bodies. Body Awareness: Simon Says is a fine game for this. Commands involve body parts (like, touch your shoulder), and movements with body parts (“lift your left foot”). Crossing the midline: Have exercises which involve touching opposite elbow to the knee, this will encourage the child to cross their hand over the middle of their body. Laterality: Encourage activities where they distinguish between their left and right like stepping games where they step to the side called (left or right). Directionality: Include activities like twirling, swirling and rolling, this will help them understand movement in different directions.
