Erika Stoye __What Can I Do If I’m Angry:__ We completed a lesson on dealing with anger. At the end of the lesson, we created a list of 7 ways to deal with anger. I posted this list at the front of the room (each way is numbered) and gave the students a page with multiple pictures on it. Each picture demonstrated an action that would cause the anger thermometer to start to boil. The students were directed to choose one of the ways and write the number in the box of how they would choose to deal with the given anger.

I only assessed a 2.0 that they were identifying that each student needed to do something to deal with anger.

2.0- Students choices were logical and they identified that the students did need to calm down. 1.5- a couple of errors (either illogical or didn’t correctly identify that they needed to cool down)

1.0- Major errors (1/2 or more) or needed assistance in completing the task.

.5- needed help with identifying the anger

0- Even with help, student was unsuccessful

__Volume Control-__ We made a numeric chart of our voice levels with corresponding levels. For example 0- silent 2- whisper voices, 4- partner voices, 6- regular voices, 8- loud voices, 10- yelling. We practiced each level of voice and talked about the importance. The students were given a paper with pictures of multiple activities and asked to write the number of what voice level they could use in the given situation.

This is a 2.0 assessment, designed to assess students' understanding of appropriate volume.

2.0- Correctly identifies volume levels

1.5- Couple of errors

1.0- More than ½ incorrect or needs help completing

.5- needs substantial help completing

0- Even with help, student is unsuccessful

__Unobtrusive assessment__- I assess this utilizing a checklist throughout the week. This could be as simple as list of names with the heading of volume control and you can make a tally mark if you need to give them a reminder. I started by assessing at a 2.0 by

4.0 Reminds others to use appropriate volume

3.5 recognizes when others are using inappropriate volume

3.0 Uses appropriate volume without reminders

2.5 Needs a couple of reminders about volume

2.0 Recognizes appropriate volume for a given activity, but needs multiple reminders to do it.

1.5 Needs help recognizing appropriate volume and multiple reminders to use it.

1.0 Needs help recognizing and using appropriate volume

.5- with constant reminders and adult help are able to use appropriate volume

0- Even with help, student is unsuccessful
