Lesson Assessments
As students work through a lesson, they will complete a variety of tasks. All of their answers will be saved. Students will use this record of their work for reference when they write their final assignment; you can also use it as a formative assessment tool to monitor their progress. This will help you determine when students are ready to begin working on the final assignment and whether any students need additional support.
Go to the "Lesson Assessments" page in your Teacher's Guide and review the types of assessments that students will be completing. Be sure that you have tried each of the interactive activities so that you are prepared to answer any questions that students may have.
Next, review the final assignment topics and rubric for your lesson. Write down your expectations for how students will complete this assignment. You may want to consider these questions:
- Will students be completing the assignment based solely on the completed lesson, or will they be expected to do additional research?
- Will you provide in-class writing time, or will students complete it for homework?
- Will students submit only one draft, or will there be opportunities for teacher or peer reviews and revisions?
