Not all students are adept at writing their thoughts in the form of an essay, in fact, some struggle with transforming their thoughts into words in general. Gloria Jacobs suggests that “the core of a multiliteracies assessment is the core of any meaningful assessment. It is about watching and noticing what students are doing and then using that information to guide the students toward new skills and knowledge” (Jacobs, 2013 p.4).

Using Shakespeare’s text of Romeo and Juliet, an overview of a differentiated unit will be explored in order to determine best practices for translating what a student can show you into data for assessment. Learning goals, success criteria, project templates will all be shared during this session.
