Therefore, my colleague and I created a series of three performance-based assessments to accompany the novel. Here\u2019s a quick description of each:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Examen-1-9.docx\">Assessment #1<\/a><\/strong>: In order to introduce my students to the author of the novel, I had them both read a biography about Saint Exup\u00e9ry and watch a video about this life.\u00a0 The students answered English comprehension questions about the video and multiple choice French questions (to replicate the AP exam) for the article.\u00a0 After the first nine chapters, I added an interpersonal task (in the form of a role-play) and presentational writing task in which the students wrote an essay about one of the quotes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Examen-10-16.docx\">Assessment #2<\/a>: <\/strong>After chapter 16 I gave another performance-based assessment. For the listening task, the students answered AP-style multiple choice questions on three videos about the Little Prince Amusement park. For the reading task, they read an article about the publication of the novel and answered AP-style questions.\u00a0 The reading and writing tasks again included role-plays and essays about quotes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/final-ipa.docx\">Assessment #3<\/a>: <\/strong>At the end of the novel, I gave a final performance-based assessment.\u00a0 For the reading task, the students read an article (<a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/article-p1.pdf\">p. 1,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/madameshepard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/article-p2.pdf\">p. 2<\/a>) \u00a0from <em>Psychologies<\/em> magazine and completed a series AP-style questions.\u00a0 For the listening task, the watched the movie trailer and a news broadcast about the 70<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the novel.\u00a0 For the written task they wrote about a pair of quotations, and the interpersonal task was again a role-play.<\/p>\n<p>Although I know I\u2019ll tweak these assessments before using them next year (my mixed class requires an A\/B curriculum), I thought that they might provide a starting point for those of you who are designing assessments to accompany the novel.<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit:\u00a0http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1266\/2828\/320\/3a.gif<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on recent comments to this blog, it seems that it\u2019s the time of year that many of us are teaching Le Petit Prince.
