English Assessment Map – Sample at Level 2
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? and then identified and discussed different modes of transport. These were listed on a class poster and individual students then recorded their individual mode of transport on a sticky note. These were then stuck onto the relevant column on the class poster. Groups shared their interpretations of the labelled poster and, following discussion, each student collated the information into a table. They 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) … read independently and respond to … informative texts with familiar ideas and information …
