English Assessment Map – Sample at Level 2
Fruit Survey
Students collected and visually represented class data on the various types of fruit in their lunch boxes that day. They undertook a class survey of responses to the question: What fruit do you have for lunch today? These were listed on a class poster and individual students then recorded their individual types of fruit 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 data 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 the teacher. The activity was completed in three 50-minute sessions.
The following sample illustrates the kind of response that students typically produce when they have achieved the elements of the standard addressed by this task.
