Suggested Assessment Strategies

Exposure to a variety of creative works adds to students' enjoyment of the language. Comprehension will be greater than expressive ability, so students should have opportunities to show understanding in various ways.

• Have students watch a video of a Punjabi fable or folk tale. Play part of the video. Ask students to guess what the story is about and to predict what might happen next. Continue playing the video to confirm predictions. To extend this, students could:
  • dramatize the story
  • illustrate the story
• Students may want to create a poster or advertisement for the video. They should include the name of the movie, the actors' names, and any other pertinent information.

Suggested Assessment Strategies

At this level, assessment emphasizes student interest and participation. In most cases, students will be able to respond at a more sophisticated level than they can show through oral and written language. Assessment will frequently rely on evidence from visual, dramatic, or musical representations, as well as on students' enthusiasm and contributions.

• Note students' participation in and response to creative works and activities in Punjabi. Students may show their interest by:
  • voluntarily bringing Punjabi works to class
  • commenting on works or activities they notice at home or in the community
  • suggesting that the class repeat or extend creative activities they have enjoyed
  • being attentive when a new activity is introduced
  • taking risks in order to take part in creative activities that may be difficult for them at first
• When students make posters about the videos they watch, look for evidence that they have:
  • incorporated key ideas, events, or characters from the video
  • tried to interest or intrigue their audience by using interesting details
