Apply your knowledge: you want to know if your kindergarten student can count five objects with 80% accuracy (four out of five times). describe an authentic assessment that you can conduct with the student to see if he or she can count to five objects accurately four out of five times. be sure to include what materials you will use. where you will conduct the assessment? what question(s) you will ask?

I would ask him/her to build a castle/drawing/object using 5 small different pieces, for five times. Every time we would build a different object with FIVE pieces. The student would count to 5 whenever he/she uses the pieces.

Explanation:

what passage are you referring to

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
