Abstract

Performance assignments require students to show their development of high-level skills associated with their daily lives. The purpose of this study is to examine the Social Studies performance assignments of 5(th) grade primary school students in terms of format, content, language, and expression. In light of the results of the study, it can be stated that from within the group of natural disasters, students preferred to study "earthquakes". They paid attention to format, page layout, and placing visual elements on their performance assignments. However, it was determined that all students made grammatical, and punctuation mistakes in their assignments.
