How We Organise Ourselves Summative Assessment

Learning Intention: I am learning to be a town/city planner. I will design different transportation systems to meet the needs of people in my community.

The rubric used for the summative

We are very fortunate to live in a city like Tokyo where we have incredible transportation systems surrounding us. Throughout this unit, students brought in subway maps from Tokyo, Google Map print outs of their neighbourhoods and pictures and maps of transportation systems in other countries, like Bangladesh, Norway and the USA.

Each Grade 2 student has designed her own map of a community. All students have included many transportation systems in these communities, and have shown where and how they connect.

Many students have gone further by planning a journey for someone and have explained how the transportation systems in their community meet people's needs.

Seisen's Grade 2 students are very excited to share these maps and journey plans at the student-led conferences on Monday, March 21.
