Puxi Campus Grade 5: English PBA Showcase

January 11, 2022

After one month of hard work, Grade 5 students in the Puxi campus finished the performance-based assessment project with great success. They capped off a fun week with a showcase of their PBA last week in the theater of the Zhongxing building.

Students worked for weeks on this PBA, which involved writing their own narrative poems and creating a digital storyboard. Students progressed through the planning stages and created multiple drafts before creating the final product. Students used their poetry skills and digital literacy to complete the task. The final product was an excellent digital storyboard, which encouraged the students to demonstrate their use of figurative language, detail, and their ability to present an oral piece using varied intonation and emotion.

Students made the project their own with their creative videos. They included hand-drawn images, digitally drawn photographs, and even stop animation! Students were proud to see their hard work displayed in front of their fellow grade five classmates. At the same time, audiences enjoyed watching the different ways students created their digital storyboard videos.

This week, students wrapped up the project with self-reflections and conclusions. This 5th grade Digital Storyboard PBA was a great success, and we look forward to seeing more opportunities for students to show off their creativity!
