North Seattle Community College

Authentic Assessment Projects - 2009

Summary

Project 1: Students in this Level 4 (intermediate) Integrated Skills ESL class learned about the resources and services offered by our library in order to find, check out, and renew books for their class reading assignments and book-review project.  Students were also asked to extend their learning beyond the NSCC Library and learn about services and resources at other libraries. 

Project 2: International students in this low-intermediate ESL class learned to search for, evaluate, and select level-appropriate ESL grammar web sites. Students first learned to search the Internet using keywords. Each group then needed to find one appropriate grammar website. At the end of the project, student pairs presented their selected website to a group of peers and instructors, and justified its selection based on evaluation criteria they learned during this project.
