Assesment

Overview

In order to ensure the continuity of future assessments, create a quick overview of the student knowledge you were able to evaluate and write down some key points regarding their performance.

1. Exit Cards 2. Presentations 3. Illustrated Journal 4. Writing "Environmental Threats" 5. Writing "How Ogwehonwe Use Maple Trees" 6. Group mural and presentation 7. Comic Strip " A Day in the Maple Bush"

Outline all the information you will need in order to create your evaluation content, add notes and figure out what type of assessment will conclude your lesson (test, essay, presentation, etc).

Revisit

After having graded and analyzed your students' work, establish what kind of feedback you will give them.

Will you have a discussion or will you give them written indications on the tests?

Will students need to review some of the content they didn't fully understand?

Review

Try to evaluate your planned assessment and establish whether it's appropriate as evidence for the Student Learning Objective.

Homework Feedback

Homework improves student achievement and teaches students to work independently.
Provide your students with feedback on their homework, as this is an essential instrument allowing you to enhance the significance of assignments in their overall academic life.

Discussion

An actual experience with discussions will help students grasp the connections between different topics. Students will have the chance to use their knowledge gathered in class or during the personal researches and be able to participate effectively in the discussion as group members.
