Formative Assessment: How will students be expected to demonstrate mastery of the learning target during in-class checks for understanding?
(embedded assessments, checking for understanding activities in order to assess if the students are meeting the stated learning targets (objective) and subobjectives.)
Students will analyze a short passage from Chinua Achebes Things Fall Apart and answer questions regarding the authors use of syntax. This question sheet
will be turned in at the end of the period.
Student Self-Assessment: What form of self-assessment and goal-setting will be used?
Students fill out their DEN sheets before and after the lesson. AND/OR
Students hold up 1 finger (know the material and could explain it to somebody else), two fingers (kind of know it, but couldnt explain it), or three fingers (its
new information) before and after the lesson to gauge their understanding. This is a good strategy for the teacher to use because it lets them know who feels
prepared to be called on, rather than calling on students at random.
