1 Los Angeles Unified School District Secondary Literacy/English Language Arts Interim Assessment 1 Overview Purpose and Use: Students in grades 6-10 will take two ELA interim assessments in the school year. In the fall semester, all students will be assessed on informative/explanatory writing. The assessment window for both middle and high school closes on October 24, The ELA assessments are designed as extended constructed response tasks that address the four strands of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Assessment items have been designed using the CCSS and CORE Assessments, and are similar in construction to the expectations outlined in the Smarter Balanced Assessment system. Each assessment will take approximately three to four class periods, though more time may be allotted if necessary. Part of the assessment process is the Plan-Deliver-Reflect-Refine/Revise cycle. Teachers should analyze the assessments in grade-level teams in order to plan for instruction leading up to the delivery of the assessments; deliver the assessments; reflect on the student work produced, and also on the instruction and assessment processes; and, determine next steps for refining/revising instruction. Teachers should work together in professional development banked time or gradelevel meeting time to engage in conversations around analysis of student work. During the first part of the assessment the students are reading, discussing, analyzing, and synthesizing information from text(s). Even though these discussion activities are not being assessed, they are critical in this assessment process. Various scaffolds have been built into each grade-level s assessment in the form of graphic organizers. Depending upon the needs of students, teachers may take some time to clarify any misconceptions or vocabulary that cannot be determined from context. Additional time may be taken to provide up front vocabulary instruction/study for English learners. Scoring: The rubrics provided with the assessments are based on the Smarter Balanced rubrics, but have been further developed using grade-level standards to provide more specificity for performance expectations at each grade. Final Note: Thank you to the dedicated secondary teachers and coaches who worked with the OCISS Secondary Literacy/ELA team in the development of this assessment.

The directions below outline the steps to follow for a threeday administration. The first two days of this assessment focus on the students interacting with the texts. On day one, the students read the text independently, take notes and begin the graphic organizer. On day two, the students complete the graphic organizer and constructed response questions. On day three, students complete the writing task. Teacher Preparation The text that students will read has been excerpted from a longer piece that is part of an educator s guide to the A Day in Pompeii exhibit that was at the Cincinnati Museum Center in The excerpt has been adapted to adjust the lexile to be appropriate for middle school students. The optional opening activity is designed as a scaffold to help students think about how we can use (visual) evidence to help tell a story. If you choose to use this activity, please be sure to plan for an extra day in your assessment schedule. Students may use any notes from the activity along with their graphic organizers and evidence-based questions as they work on the final prompt. Text Excerpt: Cincinnati Museum Center.

12 Excerpt from A Day in Pompeii What Nature Destroyed, It Also Preserved The city of Pompeii is a partially buried Roman city in Italy. Pompeii and the nearby city of Herculaneum were destroyed when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. The eruption buried Pompeii under 13 to 20 feet of ash and pumice. The city was lost for almost 1700 years before it was accidentally discovered in Since then, its excavation has provided extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, the city of Pompeii is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. The excavated town offers a snapshot of Roman life in the 1 st century, frozen at the moment it was buried on August 24, A.D. 79. The Forum, the baths, many houses, and some villas on the edge of town remain very well preserved. Mosaics in homes and businesses remain intact. Even carbonized food has been found. The evidence that remains here shows that Pompeii was a lively place. At the time of the eruption, the town probably had around 20,000 inhabitants. In addition, Romans had their holiday villas in the area. Pompeii is the only ancient town of which we know the original topographic structure. Nothing has been added or changed since the time of the eruption. The streets are straight and lay out in a grid. Houses and shops line both sides of the street. The Forum was the economic, religious, and political center of Pompeii. The main temples, municipal buildings, law courts, market and the Mensa Ponderaria were grouped around it. Besides the Forum, many other services were found in the city, including the Macellum (great food market), the Pistrinum (mill), the Thermopolium (bar that served hot and cold beverages), and cauponae (small restaurants). An amphitheater and two theaters have also been found, along with a palestra (gymnasium). A hotel, now called the Grand Hotel Murecine, was discovered a short distance from the town. August 24, A.D. 79, began as any other summer day in Pompeii. The town Forum was bustling with commercial and political activity. The baths temples, theaters and taverns were full of patrons. Just after the lunch hour, the ground shook. A great explosion thundered over the town. Mount Vesuvius had erupted, spewing volcanic materials over the city and surrounding region. A column of ash and gases rose miles into the sky. Small volcanic rocks and ash rained down on the city. The debris was so thick it blocked out the sun. The ash and rock continued falling all through the night. Everything in the town was covered, and roofs collapsed under the weight. People who tried to endure the deluge were trapped inside buildings. People who tried to flee in darkness were stranded. Lexile 920 1
13 The next day, catastrophic waves of fast moving toxic gases and hot, wet mud flowed into the city. People who had fled early probably escaped, but those who stayed behind did not. Pompeii remained buried and forgotten for 1700 years. In 1709, a workman sinking a well in a nearby town struck the marble seats of Herculaneum s theater. Herculaneum is five miles from Pompeii, near the Bay of Naples. This discovery initiated the excavations of the two lost cities. Renaissance collectors were very interested in finding precious, authentic classical objects like those that had been buried. The first excavators were opportunists, but by the 19 th century, scholars and tourists were more interested in the history of the lost city and its people. The focus was no longer on the value of found objects. Instead, attention focused on the past lives the artifacts revealed. By 1827, a street plan of the uncovered areas of Pompeii was developed and the first tourist guidebook was published. Today, archaeologists have widened their interest. They wonder about Roman society and politics and hope that Pompeii can help them learn more. How many homes and gardens were there? How many people had access to fresh water? What does the presence of sacred objects from other countries say about tolerance and diversity in Roman society? Pompeii has been a popular tourist destination for 250 years. By 2008, it was one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy. More than 2.6 million visitors come to Pompeii every year. It is part of a larger Vesuvius National Park, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in *Adapted from A Day in Pompeii, Educator s Guide from the Cincinnati Museum Center Lexile 920 2
