English Assessment Map – Sample at 1.5
Travel survey
Context
Students collected and visually represented class data on the various modes of transport used by class members to travel to school. They undertook a class survey of responses to the question: How did you get to school today? Students identified and discussed specific modes of transport and created a range of travel modes on a class poster. They recorded individual responses on a sticky note for use on the class poster in the relevant column. Students then read and shared their interpretations of the data and, following discussion, each student collated the information into a table. Students entered the data into a spreadsheet to create a simple column graph. Students then wrote individual reports explaining their interpretation of the graph.
Students worked in groups and individually, with assistance from their teacher. The activity was completed in three 60-minute sessions.
The elements of the Reading standard addressed by this task are:
(Students) … respond to short … informative texts with familiar ideas and information, predictable structures, and a small amount of unfamiliar vocabulary.
They locate directly stated information, … and interpret labelled diagrams.
