Create PT - Guidelines Before Starting

Prior to attempting a Performance Task, you should:

● Obtain content knowledge and skills that will help you succeed on the performance tasks. (previous Practice PT projects)

● Practice either the entire task or components of the tasks. (previous Practice PT projects)● Review the rubrics to understand how your work will be assessed. (On my website)● Examine examples of performance task submissions at high, medium and low levels. To avoid potential

plagiarism issues, consider carefully how you will cite these appropriately as you create your own computational artifacts for each performance task. If you choose a similar topic, your treatment of the topic must be unique. (On my website)

● Pay attention to the instructions concerning the size of the file to be uploaded. (review instructions below)● Ensure you know the proper way to evaluate and appropriately cite a source, including program code and

tools. Any program code which has not been written by you must be cited and credit given to the author. (See Tools section below)

● Understand the level of detail expected in writing your responses.

Create-Specific Items:

1

● Ensure you know effective ways to collaborate and what is expected in peer to peer collaboration.● Practice writing responses that cite evidence of collaboration and the exchange of feedback (e.g., my partner

told me that my coding related to xxx was incorrect, so I changed it to xxx. Then I retested the coding, and the program function improved.)

● Obtain programming support as needed while practicing the skills needed to complete the performance task assessment.

● Make sure you understand how to identify an algorithm in your program.● Make sure you understand how to identify an abstraction in your program.● Make sure you know how to create a video of yourself using your program.

Create PT - Checklist

Checklist of steps to complete the Performance Task. ● Planning and wireframing ideas● Creating a program● Getting feedback● Responding to peer feedback● Creating A Video● Writing about the program and the process

Create PT - Part 1
