Create a controversial question or statement related to the material being presented in class.
Create four options for the students.
Ex: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree or A,B,C,D
Read the statement to the classroom. Give them time to think of an answer to the question or statement. After they have given thought to the question, read out loud the answer choices. Tell them to choose a corner that best represents their answer.
Have each corner talk and discuss why they chose that corner.
The teacher will call on the corners to explain as a group why they chose that corner. They can provide evidence to their answer.

The teacher uses four corners to assess their students by seeing which corner or "answer" they go to. If the teacher sees that the students are going all to the correct corner, the teacher can come to the conclusion that the students know the content. If the students are in all different corners, the teacher can see that the student's aren't very sure of the content.
