A brief description of the authentic assessment.

Students will be instructed that they will write a friendly letter to
Ruby Bridges. Each student will create their very own letter
including the five components of a friendly letter, two character
traits and two supporting pieces of evidence the students have
found in the story read about Ruby, and make a personal
connection that relates themselves to Ruby during her time at
William Frantz Elementary School.

How will you remediate for students who demonstrated an

unacceptable level of achievement?
No student met the Unacceptable scoring. Though, if a student
did perform in that scoring range, I would remediate them by
breaking down each component of the assessment. First, I would
re-teach the movement of parts of a letter. Once students
understood that concept, I would move onto focus on characters
trait and supporting evidence in a graphic organizer to simplify the
purpose of this portion of the letter. Next, I would have the student
reflect verbally what they have in common with Ruby Bridges.
Next, I would have the student type their rough draft. This would
allow easier access to editing for both the student and myself.
Also, this would also more accessibility to accommodating the
students needs. After the rough draft was completed and edited, I
would print the rough draft and guide the student by masking one
line at a time for decreasing visual stimuli and to have the student
copy the rough draft accurately to the final draft. Finally, this
would allow me to further re-assess the students new final copy.
