Product-oriented performance-based assessment focuses on evaluating a student's learning by assessing the final outcome or product they produce. It emphasizes the end result of a task or project rather than the process used to achieve it. This approach is commonly used in subjects such as arts, music, and physical education, where students' performances or creations can be evaluated based on predetermined criteria or standards. The assessment is typically based on the quality, accuracy, creativity, and effectiveness of the final product.PRODUCT_ORIENTED_PERFORMANCE_BASED_ASSESSMENT.docx

Students begin this unit by discussing their relationship with art, and the extent to which they believe art drives resistance movements. Students then participate in a Gallery Walk that highlights how members of the Puerto Rico community in the Young Lords used art to advance their ideas and preserve their culture.

This helps them understand the roots of art—both visual and performance—as activism, and respond to the question: How can understanding Latinidad through art help us confront social and political injustices? Throughout this unit, students work in teams to create a poster series that inspires civic engagement and action on issues of social and political injustice.
