My main focus is that students will understand theme and thematic progression through a text, specifically “The Most Dangerous Game.” Every day, I will have a short writing exit ticket that has to do with that day’s lesson or reading. We will have a larger writing assignment at the end of the unit. I will measure their learning in class by walking around, asking questions of individuals and groups, and clarifying complex ideas.

2025-08-26 21:51:03 UTC

My main learning objective is character analysis / critical reading for the Crucible. I love to do quick writes as a formative assessment. It gives the students a chance to really test their knowledge by expressing their answers in a more open ended format.

As for the summarize assessment, I plan to have them build character analysis projects that include a poster and an essay about their chosen character. The poster will include a character web and the essay will explain the nitty gritty details of their character.

2025-08-26 21:51:07 UTC

For my unit we are talking about balancing chemical equations. For a formative assessment I can do a “give me a thumbs up if you understand” after showing a step of balancing an equation in an example before I move on. For a summative assessment you could do a unit quiz.

2025-08-26 21:51:26 UTC

Liv Fielding: One formative assessment that I love using is a feedback jar. my students know that I am learning from them as well so they offer me “feedback” which communicates things that they are confused about or things that i need to cover again in the future. When it comes to summative assessment, i will be using a multi-choice assessment that lets students choose between 3 or 4 creative assignment prompts to demonstrate their learning through.

2025-08-26 21:51:37 UTC

One formative assessment I use at the end of class is to have students close their eyes and answer yes/no questions by raising their hands. I teach Spanish I so its a quick way to know they understand the vocabulary they are learning each day.

2025-08-26 21:52:02 UTC

My central focus has to do with solving one variable and compound inequalities, expressing their solutions using interval notation, and graphing their solutions. I am assessing these informally by giving out exit tickets every day asking both procedural fluency questions and conceptual understanding questions. I am also walking around and conversating with students assessing their thinking. Same type of questions from both of those can go on a summative assessment as well

2025-08-26 21:52:41 UTC

Central focus is developing students’ understanding of angle measurement, classifications, and angle pair relationships through reasoning and problem solving. One formative assessment that I will be using is exit tickets at the end of each lesson of the learning segment. As a summative assessment, I will be having the students take a post-test so I can compare overall growth at the end of my learning segment.

2025-08-26 21:52:51 UTC

My central focus will be the performance of specific articulations within the context of the band's performance pieces. For a formative assessment, I plan to use a worksheet that focuses on the student's identifying the names and definitions of articulations. For a summative assessment, the students will complete a performance assessment at the end of the unit in the form a playing assessment, in addition to their final concert.

2025-08-26 21:53:07 UTC

My main learning objectives include being able to create a cohesive illustration, simplify ideas to color and shape, understand how color is used in art, conceptualize ideas as sketches before a final product, and demonstrate self direction in one’s choice in project.

For summative assessments, my main forms is a check in on the final art to make sure one is making the progress needed to stay on track and for students to show me their sketch work before their final drawing so I can give feedback and ask probing questions

Their summative assessment is a rubric for their final piece assessing them on their choice in word for their one word illustration, whether their message is effectively communicated, craftsmanship in art, completion (as I want students to see trying in art is enough as many students are afraid of not being good enough), and judging how their sketches connect to their final.

I often ask students to quickly the themselves from 1 (terrible) - 5 (excelente) following a note period, practice period, or other learning opportunity. I then divide groups by their scores to individualize learning based on their mastery.

2025-08-26 21:53:34 UTC

My central focus is that SWBAT throw a disc with good form 75 percent of the time. My formal is that I would have My students have an exit ticket to talk about the form of fisc throwing. Then my summative would be a rubric that I will use to assess the students.

2025-08-26 21:53:46 UTC

2025-08-26 21:54:47 UTC

Formative- EoL questions/practice examples on the board- Students will complete an example on the big whiteboard to practice as well as give me a quick look around the class at who's "got it"

Summative- EoL HW/Mixed practice: Students are given an ICWS in order to first prove to themself what they know/what they need help and come see me to get help, followed by a graded HW assignment on canvas in which the students get 2 attempts to complete, on the condition they come see me with questions on the questions they missed.

Central Focus-The central focus of this lesson is electrons, specifically, determining valence electrons as well as looking at orbitals and the different principles regarding how the electrons fill those orbitals. This includes the Pauli exclusion principle, Hund’s rule, and Aufbau’s rule. Also covered will be sublevel principles (s,p,d, and f), energy levels, and how many electrons can be in each energy level due to subshell structure.

2025-08-26 21:55:26 UTC

I am still currently selecting my unit for EdTPA. Though I do not know this yet, one example of a formative assessment would be me as the teacher asking the students questions pertaining to the lesson and asking questions connecting old information to new as the lesson progresses. A summative assessment example would be a playing test that happens at the end of the unit, involving the materials of the lessons. This would include a rubric and explanation of what had been learned and how this connects to the playing exam as well

2025-08-26 21:55:35 UTC

Central Focus: Students will be able to correctly identify key signatures and write key signatures using the tricks taught in class.

An idea for a formative assessment is to measure how comfortable the students are with the presented information. A simple "show me on your hand on a scale of 1 to 5, how comfortable are you identifying these key signatures" and surveying the room before continuing will give you all the information you need.

An idea for a summative assessment for this concept is to have a unit quiz at the end of the lessons. It will include everything they went over starting from day 1 to the new information just taught to them.

2025-08-26 21:56:16 UTC

Central Focus: Shakespeare is still relevant to this day. Mainly focusing on the students breaking past his “language barrier”

Formative assessments: I have found “pop sonnets” where a pop song has been turned into a Shakespearean sonnet. I think it would be very fun and interesting to have the students breakdown the sonnet and see if they can figure out what song it is.

Summarize assignments: A project where they take a Shakespeare show and reimagine it into modern day, having them draw up costumes for characters, translating a scene into modern text, other things to show how Shakespeare is easily manipulated into modern text.

2025-08-26 21:56:45 UTC

Formative assesment: Have a slide show comparing similar elements and see if they can identify which is the primary element. Then draw an example for the ones the students commonly miss.

Summative:

Draw and label and example of each element. Students must show their sketch before moving onto detail with labels to ensure and understanding before finishing the assignment. Students will get feedback on which elements they labeled incorrectly.

2025-08-26 21:58:49 UTC

Students will understand many different ways of shading from life and how to successfully incorporate imaginary objects into their drawing through shading. Informal formative assessment is done daily by walking around, checking progress, and critiquing student work (occasionally we may have turn ins for sketching/brainstorming). Our summative assessment would be done when a student is finally turning in their finished artwork and I review what they have done with reference to a rubric that we have shown them at the beginning of the lesson segment. (And give written feedback!)

2025-08-27 22:17:45 UTC

A formative assessment is over our unit in pets. I think a very good one is handing my children a photo of an animal and have them put it under the following letter the animals name starts with that way it helps them not only understand their animals but also letters. Another way is what we consider pets and have them independently organize the photos between those 2 groups!

I’m still planning my lessons, but a good example of a formative assessment would be quick checks for understanding during the lesson. This can look like asking questions pertaining to the content, asking students to rate themselves, or even an exit ticket post-lesson. A summative assessment typically looks like a test or quiz, usually over larger sums of material. This can look like unit quizzes, chapter tests, etc.

2025-08-27 22:18:55 UTC

Central Focus:
Students will develop strategies to identify the main idea and supporting details in informational texts in order to strengthen their reading comprehension and ability to summarize.

Formative Assessment:
During guided reading, I will use an exit ticket where students write one sentence stating the main idea of the passage and list two supporting details. This quick check allows me to see if students can distinguish between key ideas and minor details, and it helps me adjust instruction for the next lesson.

Summative Assessment:
At the end of the unit, students will read a short informational text independently and create a written summary that includes the main idea and at least three supporting details. This assessment directly measures their ability to apply the skills practiced throughout the unit and demonstrates their overall mastery of the central focus.

2025-08-27 22:19:40 UTC

I may need to redo my edtpa lessons but my original central focus was understanding what words mean by using prefixes and suffixes. If I need to change it will be over main idea and details.

I will have students do exit tickets as formative assessments, asking questions such as “what is the difference between an explanatory paragraph and a comparison & contrast paragraph.

A summative assessment is a Focusing Task Q where they compose a comparison and contrast paragraph stating the differences between the Nez Perce

and US government regarding Nez Perce homeland.

My central focus is summarizing the difference in value/cultural beliefs between two groups.

2025-08-27 22:22:00 UTC

Central Focus: Argue/Persuade using evidence. One way that I plan on assessing this first is using graphic organizers to make sure my students are able to find important information from the text to support their position.

Central focus: Analyzing character traits and use text evidence to explain how those traits shape that character’s understanding of home.

Formative: Students respond orally to text-dependent questions during “I do, we do, you do” gradual release.

Formative: students complete character traits writing how their own point of view of home is similar or different from the character’s point of view.

Summative: post test.

Central focus: Students will listen and identify important information about text-based facts and ideas.

Verbally answering comprehension questions about text and using a KWL chart

Worksheet quiz asking questions about vocabulary and comprehension questions

(Kindergarten)

these tie together so students are understanding the key details and vocab

2026-01-21 23:23:30 UTC

Focus: Students will be able to find and retell the main idea of a text.

Formative: Students will submit an exit ticket about what main idea is

Summative: Students will turn in their two column notes with the main idea of the given text.

2026-01-21 23:23:50 UTC

Central Focus: Focused learners will be able to identify story elements of a familiar story to help them retell the story.

formative: end of lesson discussion to check for understanding/ a element card sort as a class.

summative: turn in an individual worksheet where they draw every element from the story read.

Central Focus : It is tied to my student's IEP of recognizing and using core words on his AAC device.

Formative Assessment: Data (How often he clicks the right core word on his AAC device. )

Summative: I plan to do a kahoot with the same words.

I am teaching a lesson about writing a summary about the American Revolution that includes a main idea and supporting details to a 4th grade class. My first formative assessment is completing a graphic organizer. My second formative assessment is a rough draft of their summary. My summative assessment is a final draft of their summaries, along with an illustration and a caption that explains what the illustration is. My central focus is students will develop the ability to identify the main idea of an informational text, select key details that support it, and use these ideas to write an accurate summary. The assessments are connected to the central focus because they are all related to students writing a summary.

2026-01-21 23:24:16 UTC

Central focus: Students will demonstrate comprehension by answering questions about a text using responses supported by the text.

Formative: answering multiple choice questions and highlighting evidence from the text to support their answer

Summative: writing a constructed response using RACE to support their answers

Central focus: for students to apply listening segment-specific vocabulary and content knowledge through non-fiction texts to fully comprehend our lesson about the history of the Earth (still a work in progress)

2026-01-21 23:24:30 UTC

My central focus is that my student will strengthen fine-motor and letter-formation skills by using multisensory manipulatives (playdough) and visual models to trace and copy uppercase and lowercase letters with increasing accuracy and independence. The formative assessment will occur daily as the student builds a small set of letters using playdough and then traces and copies those same letters, with me collecting data on accuracy, level of prompting, and engagement. This ongoing data will be used to monitor progress toward the IEP goal and to adjust instruction as needed. The summative assessment will be a multisensory performance task in which the student uses familiar materials and visual models to trace and copy a selection of uppercase and lowercase letters, demonstrating at least 80% accuracy across three out of four trials. The formative and summative assessments are directly aligned, as both require the student to trace and copy letters with a model, ensuring consistency between instruction, practice, and evaluation.

My central focus is students will demonstrate their understanding of the story by sequencing key events from the book. For a formative assessment I plan to make a graphic organizer of story events with the students as a large group. For a summative assessment I plan to have a cut and paste activity with story events and they will put them in the correct order. They tie together because they both focus on story sequencing as large group and as individuals.

2026-01-21 23:24:54 UTC

My central focus will be having students practice sequencing important details from a text to help them summarize. One formative assessment I will use will be to have an exit ticket where students use key sequencing phrases (first, next, then, finally) to order important details from the text. My summative assessment will include a post assessment that covers comprehension of the text where students will have to use the text to provide a short summary of the text using sequential evidence from the text.

2026-01-21 23:25:12 UTC

My central focus is for students to recount details from two books, one of them about caterpillars transforming into butterflies and one of them about butterflies migrating in the fall. I will read them the stories and discuss the key details (specifically steps in the transformation of caterpillar -> butterfly).

Formative assessment (day one): giving them the steps out of order and having them put them in the correct order.

Summative: Having them write two paragraphs. One about the steps of transformation, describing what happens in each step, and giving quotes and page numbers of where they found the descriptions. The second about where butterflies migrate to in the fall and challenges they face while migrating, again with page numbers from the boom.

These assessments will show that the students comprehended the most important information from the books I will be reading.

2026-01-21 23:25:41 UTC

Central Focus: Students will be able to comprehend poetry using text features.

Formative Assessment: Students will complete a cut-and-paste activity where they will sort five different poems into three kinds of structure: free verse, narrative, and haiku.

Summarize Assessment: Students will be able to complete a post-test that asks them to correctly identify a poem’s structure.

These assessments tie together because the formative assessment prepares students for the summative assessment. Scaffolding students’ knowledge on poem structure will help them identify a poem’s structure independently.

2026-01-21 23:25:54 UTC

Central Focus: Students will use details from the text to make and explain inferences about characters

Formative: graphic organizers

Summative: constructed response

The graphic organizers allow students to practice identifying textual details and making inferences with my support and feedback. The constructed response then requires students to independently explain an inference using evidence from the text, demonstrating mastery of the central focus.

2026-01-21 23:29:49 UTC

Central Focus- Students will be able to understand theme from a story by using key details in a text.

Formative: graphic organizer for begining middle and end, exit tickets/worksheets after each lesson.

Summative: comparative analysis

2026-01-21 23:33:04 UTC

central focus : Students will retell story events by sequencing them and using temporal word

Formative assessments: Exit ticket where I ask student to draw what happened first. Discussion.

Summative assessments: post test where student will be able to write and draw the story in order.

This ties in because the students will grow from a pre test and learn the material gradually so that they will be able to understand when they have the final assessment

2026-01-22 18:12:40 UTC

Central focus - students apply knowledge of patterns and understanding of science as a process to interpret the central dogma of biology

Formative - Students perform a metacognitive self-assessment of their current understanding and write down their rating of their knowledge in their notebooks.

Summative - comprehensive worksheet that covers all material that has been covered in a low-stakes, low-stress environment

The assessments relate to the central focus as they consistently relate and connect the current topics to the end goal of the lesson as a whole
