Facing the Future with Ray Bradbury: Examining "The Veldt"
Evaluation and Self-Assessment for Learning
Evaluation: During the “Process” section, each student will create a background presentation, an infographic or magazine, and a written response that demonstrates his or her learning.
You should pay attention to guiding questions asked at each step. Your ultimate objective is to communicate your learning about Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt” in the three forms of media:
• the electronic presentation for the background info (I may use these when teaching the story in the future!)
• the digitized graphical summation of key aspects of the story in the infographic, and
• the written response to the prompt given.
Self-Assessment for Learning: After you complete the process described above, you will complete a self-assessment tool that allows you to reflect on what you learned, how you learned it, and how it changes you as a learner and thinker. For this section, you can extend what you learned to connect it to other texts, other contents, your life, or the world as you know it. You may, for example, want to discuss Maslow's Hierarchy of needs as it touches the characters in the story and their motivation.
