T.E209

Alternative Aesop’s Fables

Working in groups, students will identify the characters, setting, and events of one of Aesop’s fables and then create new versions by making changes to the characters, setting, and events.

Student performances of the improvised versions will be video recorded for later scoring using the Teacher Scoring Rubric–Development and Performance in the Teacher Booklet. Students will also respond to a set of five reflection prompts based on their experiences.

Assessment Info

E Event
Array Grade
Approx. 80 min
1 Educator Effectiveness MethodThis assessment can be used in demonstrating arts educator effectiveness by changing the prompt(s) used, if any, and repeating the item one or more times. Sufficient instructional time on the underlying concepts assessed (not the assessment item itself) should occur so that change in student performance is possible. This is especially suitable for assessments (e.g., MAEIA events) that require less time and effort to administer.

Standards

Performance Standard
TH.EL.R.1. – Discuss classroom dramatizations using appropriate theatrical vocabulary.
Content Standard
ART.T.III.EL.4 – Analyze classroom dramatizations and constructively suggest alternative ideas for dramatizing roles, arranging environments, and developing situations.

ART.T.III.5.4 – Suggest and implement alternative characters, settings, or events after viewing or participating in a performance.
NCAS Anchor Standard
TH:Re7 – Perceive and analyze artistic work.

These are analytic rubrics. The column on the left shows the dimension that is being measured in the student’s performance. The levels across the top row indicate the performance level in the dimensions. Occasionally all dimensions and performance levels are exemplified by multiple students in a single recording.
