Performance Task
Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate the desired understandings,
knowledge, and skills? (describes the learning activity in “story” form. Typically, the P.T.
describes a scenario or situation that requires students to apply knowledge and skills to
demonstrate their understanding in a real life situation. Describe your performance task scenario
below)
By what criteria will performances of understanding be judged?
The performance task consists of providing students a scenario where they are stuck on an
island, and their goal is to create a watercraft that is able to float, to help them escape the
island. Through research and class learning, students will be able to choose four resources
that they “find” on their island. Students should choose four materials that can float on
water, and provides stability when weight is added. Students will plan, design, and create a
prototype of their watercraft that will be tested to see if it floats. Students will engage in the
design process to find the best possible design by adapting and modifying their watercraft.
Students will also be expected to reflect on the process to demonstrate their understanding
of what they’ve learned. The performance task will be assessed using a bulls eye rubric
which will be co-created by the teacher and students, to ensure students are aware of the
success criteria of the task.
