The document describes a formative assessment where third grade students will write and illustrate their own folktales. They will write their stories in three paragraphs over 2-4 days in class. The teacher will then meet with students individually to discuss and edit their stories. Next, students will use a computer program called Pixie to type their stories and add illustrations to each paragraph. They will also record their stories. Finally, the teacher will compile the students' folktales into a collection to share with their class.
