Reflection on a Group Performance

In this assessment, students will first listen to a recording of one of their own performances and reflect on that performance using a worksheet in their Student Booklets. Then they will be asked to reflect, either in writing or verbally, on their favorite aspect of the performance, as well as the aspect of the performance that most needs improvement. The score for Part 1 is the number of questions correct. Use the Teacher Scoring Rubric for Part 2.

This item has been voluntarily field-tested by Michigan teachers with a non-representative sample of students.


This is an analytic rubric. 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.
