Formative Assessment: informal or formal assessments given throughout a unit

3. Formative Assessments
Think about it:
Which activities that we have already discussed could be used as formative assessments?
Kahoot Board Games Writing/ telling a story
Textbook exercises Embedded HyperDoc quizzes

4. Formative Assessments
Exit Tickets: Small pieces of paper that students put by the door when they leave
the classroom. Students write down a short description of what they learned that
day or answer a question about the target grammar. This can be paper or digital.
Try an app like Padlet for a quick digital exit ticket.
Students can respond from their phones.

5. Formative Assessment
My favorite Web 2.0 Tools:
Socrative: A quick tool for creating short quizzes.
EduPuzzle: Embed your own questions in an uploaded or YouTube video.
Google Forms: Create a quiz with multiple question formats.
And many more!

6. Summative Assessments

7. Summative Assessments
Other Ideas:
Student Teaching: Have students design a lesson teaching the target grammar
to another class. Find a buddy classroom and have your students present their
lessons to an authentic audience.
Web 2.0 Tools:
- Create an infographic that uses target grammar on Canva.
- Make a movie on Animoto that incorporates the target grammar.
