General Information

All students can participate in EL Civics instruction and assessment. However, only ESL students in WIOA II EL Civics education programs can earn payment points for passing COAAP assessments. ABE, ASE, and CTE students can earn CAEP Immigrant Integration Indicator (I3) outcome for CAEP but not payment points for WIOA II. Please see Successful Implementation of COAAPs for CAEP Agencies for a crosswalk for ABE/ASE/CTE student placement into ESL COAAP instructional levels.
Civic Objective#: 74 Program Year: 2025-2026

TOPSpro Form #: 741C AAP #: 74.1
Assessment Type: Oral, Written

Level Range

From: Beginning High To: Advanced

Language and Literacy Objectives

Language and literacy objectives with an asterisk (*) are suitable for beginning low level students.
1 Identify and/or describe, orally or in writing, steps used in producing a machined part or other product.
2 Interpret a chart, table or other graphic to determine the correct setting for a piece of equipment needed to produce a product.
3 Describe and use basic math operations to make adjustments to bring part or other product being produced into tolerance.
4 Demonstrate understanding of terminology commonly used in manufacturing and product development.

Additional Assessment Plan Tasks

Task: 1

Description: Describe the Elements of a Graphic Such as a Blueprint Drawing, Chart, or Table used in Machine Tech Training or Other Appropriate Manufacturing and Product Development Trade.

Given a level-appropriate picture prompt, student (BH – A) will orally or in writing:

Content A (BH-A--8 points possible)
Identify up to eight elements (BH = 6, IL = 7, IH-A = 8) of a graphic such as a blueprint drawing, chart, or table used in machine tech training or other appropriate manufacturing and product development trade.

Content B (IL-A – 16 points possible)
State the significance of each element named in Content A (IL = 7, IH-A = 8) in creating a finished product

Sample answers:
Content A
BH – Tolerance Block.
IL-A – This is the tolerance block.

Content B:
IL - Sometimes the part is not made perfectly. The tolerance block shows how much bigger or smaller than the blueprint the part can be.
IH-Adv - Sometimes the part is not made to the specifications on the blueprint. The tolerance block shows how much bigger or smaller than the blueprint the part is permitted to be and still pass inspection.

Scoring Rubric Points
Content A
Response correctly identifies an element of a graphic such as a blueprint drawing, chart, or table. 1
Response incorrectly identifies an element of a graphic such as a blueprint drawing, chart, or table or there is no response. 0
Content B
Response is level-appropriate, clear, complete, and has correct content. There may be errors, but they do not interfere with meaning. 2
Response is level-appropriate and has correct content. It may be partially complete. There may be errors that interfere with meaning, but the response can be understood with inference. 1

Task: 2

Description: Present an Oral Report Describing How to Produce a Machined Part or Other Product

Content (18 points possible)
Using agency-provided blueprint and instructions, student will give an oral report demonstrating the job-related skill of producing an authentic machined part or other product.

The report will be based on the answers to 4 questions such as:
1. What did you produce? What is it used for?
2. What job-related skills did you learn?
3. Describe up to 9 steps (BH=5, IL=7, IH=8, A=9) it took to produce this product.

Plan for Oral Presentation (8 points possible)
Student will make a plan for their oral presentation. This includes completing a step-by-step plan (up to 9 steps) and collecting visuals such as photos and videos of themselves producing the part.

Visual Aid (4 points possible)
In class, student will make a relevant, appropriate, legible and neat visual aid to support the oral report such as a PowerPoint presentation, Google Slide presentation, or poster including the photos and videos they collected above.

Presentation (2 points possible)
Student will use effective speech and body language throughout the report and will refer to the prepared visual aid above.

Reflection (2 points possible)
Student will answer 3 questions (or complete a checklist, survey, or questionnaire) reflecting on student’s increased ability to use the job skills they learned while completing Task 2. (3 simple questions requiring short oral or written answers for BH and more complex questions requiring longer written responses for IL-A).
