Summative Assessment​

SITUATION: Your teacher asked you to make a prototype model of an animal using modeling clay as your output for the whole week. With your prototype model of an animal, explain the body parts and how these parts help the animal survive in a particular habitat. You are to perform a certain role - to become a vlogger, a reporter or a videographer of the day. Write a report explaining and describing your prototype model of an animal and its body parts which help the animal to survive in a particular habitat. You may record yourself while reading your report and upload your video to your social media and share it to the community, if you have access to internet. Your output will be assessed using the following: benefit to your friends, message/clarity, presentation/organization.​
