Weekly Authentic Assessment /w End of Semester Reflection

This is the Authentic Assessment that I have developed to Assess your Weekly Authentics. It is based upon the following principles of authentic writing:

1. The audience is important.
2. Ideas and Content are king.
3. Assessments should be based upon what students want to work on.
4. Assessments should be based upon individual students rather than an entire group.
5. Grading should be done from the perspective of a fellow writer.
6. The teacher should be a part of the writing community and give true responses (comments/feedback) to student writing.

Any final comments/reflections about your post? Things you didn't get to write into your post? Reflections about the Weekly Authentic process? *

Now I would like you to reflect upon the semester that has just come to a close. Please think about all of the things you have done this school year for Language Arts and answer the following questions:

What have you learned as a result of being in Mr. Wilkoff's Language Arts class this semester? (These can be things I taught or not.)*

What do you wish you would have learned in Mr. Wilkoff's Language Arts class this semester?*

What is the one thing that you think is really affective about Mr. Wilkoff's teaching style? (Causes you to learn more.)*

What is the one thing that you find ineffective about Mr. Wilkoff's teaching style? (Causes you to learn less.)*

How do you think that your writing has changed (for either good or bad) due to Mr. Wilkoff's class?*

What can Mr. Wilkoff, other classmates, or you do to make next semester even better than this one?*
