Evaluation Survey Monkey Self-evaluation Group-evaluation Rubrics

Slide 29

Group-evaluation 1) The group was well prepared in terms of content and visual aids 1. Unsatisfactory 2. Satisfactory 3. Excellent 2) The group was well rehearsed 3) The group seemed to have collaborated well with each other 4) The group members tried not to read from their papers and paid careful attention to keeping eye- contact.

Slide 30

Self-evaluation 1.What did you learn through this project? 2. Are you satisfied with your project? Why/ Why not? 3. I can write an 80-word essay. 1 I cannot do this. 2 I can do this. 3 I can do this easily.

Slide 31

Self-evaluation 4. I can give a presentation in English. 5. I can identify a problem regarding trees and explain it in English. 6. I can describe a solution to a tree problem in English.

Slide 32

The results of self-evaluations - a CAN-DO type -

Slide 33

The results of self evaluations - A descriptive type I learned how important forests and trees are through this project. If forests disappear, the land will be infertile and be desert. Also forests generate oxygen, so if forests disappear, creatures cannot survive. However, lots of forests are destroyed by harmful insects, acid rain, and slash-and-burn farming. Now, various insects are brought from foreign countries and give a harmful influence to trees. Slash-and-burn farming also makes soil infertile and acid rain makes trees withered. We, humans, must know how dangerous this situation is and solve these problems. We must solve these problems for our future generations through what we have leaned through this project.

Slide 34

Tree-Project Group-Assessment 1. What aspect(s) of your project are you most satisfied with? Why? 2. What challenge(s) did your group face? 3. How did your group overcome the challenge(s)? 4. What changes and additions would you like to make to your project if you had more time? 5. Do you have any ideas of PBL you want to try next time?
