Unless it is videotaped, there is no tangible evidence of the student’s speech. How do I substantiate the assessment, and what do I place in the student’s collection of evidence?
After scoring a speech, you may choose to fill out an entry or recording sheet to retain for student scores. Such a sheet might include the type of work sample completed, the date of completion, and the scores received. They could also provide a space for the rater’s written comments and several signatures verifying that the speech is the student’s original work. Entry sheets also might include the student’s reflection on the speech. If the speech was videotaped, be sure to note on the entry sheet the title or number of the videotape so it can be located later. The entry sheet need not be the only tangible evidence of a speaking assessment. To further substantiate the assessment, the following items could also be used. • From the rater — an explanation of how the student’s scores relate to key points on the scoring guide. • From the student — a reflection piece written soon after giving the speech; a list of resources used and/or an outline or manuscript of the speech.
