ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

USING THIS MAEIA ASSESSMENT TO DEMONSTRATE EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS (METHOD 1)This assessment can be used to demonstrate arts educator effectiveness by changing the prompt (such as musical selection, play, work of art) used, if any, and repeating the item one or more times either in the current school year or the next one. Sufficient instructional time on the underlying concepts assessed (not the assessment item itself) should occur so that change in student performance is possible. This is especially suitable for assessments (e.g., MAEIA events) that require less time and effort to administer.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLINE OF THE PERFORMANCE EVENTStudents will construct an Artist Trading Card based on the collaborative ideas of others using 2-D media. Students will begin with a collaborative sentence-writing game originated during the surrealist art movement. Students will then illustrate the results of the collaborative sentence on their own Artist Trading Cards. At the end of the assessment, students will write a short reflection about their work and the process used to create it.

SUGGESTED TOTAL TIME This assessment has twp parts to it. The assessment should take 50 minutes to complete, as shown below:

o Part 1–The Exquisite Corpse Game (Day 1, 10 minutes)o Part 2–Artist Trading Card (Day 1, 40 minutes)

Bookleto 2½" x 3½" card stock for the Artist Trading Cards, one or more per studento Drawing materials, such as markers, colored pencils, crayonso Collage materials, such as scissors, glue sticks, magazines from which to cut

ASSESSMENT SETUPThe teacher should make sure that each student has a Student Booklet, scissors, a pen or pencil, and a sentence strip for the collaborative writing prior to starting Part 1 of the assessment. The teacher should decide how to distribute materials to students prior to Part 2 of the assessment and have those materials ready.

Students should be in a visual arts classroom, seated in a way that is decided by the teacher prior to the start of the assessment. It may be helpful to have students sit in a circle. It may also be helpful to provide students with a bank of appropriate words to use or at least start with.

DETAILED SCRIPT WITH TEACHER AND STUDENT DIRECTIONSDirections for teachers are in regular text. Directions to be read to students are in bold.

Each student needs a Student Booklet and a pen or pencil. When ready, say:

You should have a Student Booklet and a pen or pencil. Begin by filling in the information requested on the front cover.

Pause while students complete the requested information. Then say:

Turn to page 2 in your Booklets and read the directions silently as I read them aloud to you.

Pause while students turn to page 2. Then say:

This assessment has two parts to it: o Part 1–The Exquisite Corpse Gameo Part 2–Artist Trading Card

The directions for each part are given in the Student Booklet.

PART 1–THE EXQUISITE CORPSE GAME Allow students to cut out their sentence strips prior to the start of the assessment. Each student also needs a Student Booklet and a pen or pencil. When ready, say:

This assessment begins with a writing game. This part of the assessment will take 10 minutes.

This game came from the surrealist art movement. These artists would get together and start a sentence, pass it on to the next person, who would continue it, and keep passing it on until it was finished. The point of the game is to not know what the person before you wrote, so the results are left up to chance.

5

First, write your name on the sentence strip. Now, fold the strip in a way that ends up with eight equal spaces. Each space will have a different word from a different part of speech in it.

If the teacher provides a word bank, reference the word bank for appropriate words.

You are going to start the sentence by writing an article of speech in the first space, such as “the,” “a,” or “an.”

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Now that you have a new strip of paper, you are going to write a noun. Nouns refer to a person, place, or thing. Write a noun on the next section of the writing strip.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

On the next section of paper, you are going to write an adverb. Adverbs are words that modify verbs and usually end in “-ly.” Write an adverb on the next section of the writing strip.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Next, you are going to write a verb—an action word. Write a verb on the next section of the writing strip.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

The next word you are going to write is a preposition. A preposition shows the relationship between nouns and other words in a sentence. Some examples are “over,” “under,” “through,” “in,” or “around.” Write a preposition on the next section of the writing strip.

6

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Next, write another article, such as “the,” “a,” or “an.” Write it on the next section.

Pause while students do this. Then, say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Now, write an adjective on the next section of the writing strip. Adjectives help describe other words.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Fold back that section so it cannot be seen, and pass it to the person to your right.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Finally, you are going to write another noun, which is a person, place, or thing. Write the noun on the last section of the writing strip, and place ending punctuation, such as a period, at the end of your noun.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

When you are finished, find the name of the owner by unfolding the strip. Hand the strip to that person.

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Now that you have received your sentence strip back, read the collaborative sentence to yourself.

PART 2–ARTIST TRADING CARDFor this part of the assessment, each student will need his or her Student Booklet, a pen or pencil, the strip of paper with his or her collaborative sentence, and all of the 2-D materials needed to create the Artist Trading Card. Pass out materials to students using the routine distribution procedures for the classroom.

When ready to begin, say:

To start Part 2 of this assessment, write your name on the back of your 2½" x 3½" card. This will be your Artist Trading Card.

7

Pause while students do this. Then say:

Now turn to page 3 of your Student Booklet.

For this part of the assessment, you will create an Artist Trading Card based on your collaborative sentence from Part 1. An Artist Trading Card is a small work of art created from a variety of materials.

Using the 2-D materials provided, you will illustrate the sentence written during Part 1.

In addition to the strong visual you are creating, you may want to include words on the Artist Trading Card that you think will enhance the overall composition.

Before you begin, quickly think about the answers to the following questions as you re-read your sentence:

o When you read the sentence, what type(s) of pictures do you see?o When you read the sentence, what type(s) of colors do you see?o What materials would work best to illustrate what you see when you read your

sentence?o What words do you think might enhance the overall composition?

The Teacher Scoring Rubric that will be used to evaluate your Artist Trading Card is on page 4 of your Student Booklet. Review Level 3, the highest level of performance.
