1) We're going to stick to very few Controlled Response types. Probably, just a couple of multiple choice tests at the beginning of some classes. 2) Constructed Response types - we'll have a lot! We're mostly doing Summary and extended response, because our students will create the newspaper columns. 3) For Alternative L2 Literacy Assessment we want to do Self-Assessment. We'll provide our students with check lists for self assessment

Informal and Formal Assessment- Short Answer Comprehension : by having them write a short paragraph around their choices made in Forbidden Forest. Then going home writing a longer version and submitting that for homework.

Final Assessment:

Summary and Extended Response:

Having the students create three different articles to read at the end of the semester. This will be graded on a holistic rubric. (We are wondering if other groups are using rubrics for their tips, rumor, or gossip articles?).

Self Assessment: For final project, we are also going to make them do a self assessment.

Multiple-choice: there’s a quiz in the dragon section
- Each group reads a different text, from different dragon stories. They come back and share all that information. Then they get a quiz about all the different texts)
Dialogue: trying to figure out what kind of dialog it is (multiple choice)

Information transfer
- They have to create their own poster for the imaginary wizard.
Free recall and extended response:
- Students will have to recall sections of the book, and respond “what would you do in this situation” questions

Controlled response as a reading comprehension check
Skimming tasks where students need to find specific information in the text that supports a claim.

Provide them with lines of dialogue from the text. Don’t say who it is. Just dialogue. Then they need to identify ‘who said this’. Just memory. They can’t read the book during the task so it’s kind of a reading check.

Information transfer: then they have to make their own dialogue either for existing characters or for their own characters.
Debate - observational assessment
Final assessment - rubric for fan fiction

In this part of our unit, students explore Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone not just as readers, but as writers and thinkers. Each lesson blends literary analysis with reflective and creative writing to help students connect personally with the text while building academic language skills.

Students are encouraged to analyze characters, settings, and events from multiple perspectives and express their insights through structured writing tasks. Whether it's through journal entries, group discussions, or visual organizers, learners use English to engage with literature meaningfully and creatively.
