Link one example of formative assessment you have tried and found useful. en-us 2021-11-01 21:11:11 UTC 2021-11-01 23:09:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859992259 I liked using emoji faces. I think this is specifically useful for younger kids. I like this because it is relevant. I think kids are more willing to participate if it is in a format that is familiar to them. I think this can be used in conjunction with the twitter hashtag. One form of assessment I will be using in my class is having students keep sketch books I can monitor their sketches every day or I can give students prompts to answer. I think this is a useful tool because it can be written and visual and students will be able to have some choice. ]]> 2021-11-01 22:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859992259 https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859993201 I'm jumping in early because it's already a favorite of mine, but I love the Haiku assessment! It does seem on the more difficult/deep thinking side of things vs a quick assessment but as an English teacher I loveeee poetry and love any excuse to include poetry writing, especially specific fun formats like haiku!

I have never heard of this activity and it seems like a really great way to assess students learning after a lesson, and it allows students to get creative and think critically about how to summarize learning in a way that is also creative. I have personally tried methods such as exit slips where students summarize their learning, and the haiku review reminds me of an exit slip but more fun and more creative. ]]> 2021-11-01 22:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859996335 https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859997061 i really liked the walk and talk. I say this because when I taught for 3 days at East Henderson, I just absolutely failed at classroom engagement and getting them to move around. so if the students are able to get up and walk around then they will get not only a break they will be able to do something fun. One formal assessment that I have have seen work is, at the end of the unit, the students will be given a blank page. On that blank page they will be able to discribe with they learned in any formate. it can be a paragraph poster, story line, comic, there is no standard way to do it but it gives the students a chance to express what they know however they want.]]> 2021-11-01 22:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859997061 https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859997355 My favorite assessment idea was the "walk and Talk". I like this idea because kids are expected to sit still and quiet for most of the school day, and I think any thing that breaks away from the regular mundane is great! I also like that the teacher gives expectations before the walk and talk so that the students know exactly what they should be talking about ]]> 2021-11-01 22:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859997355 https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859998091 I have used the musical chairs assessment before and found it useful ]]> 2021-11-01 23:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kendra_jarvis/wjvgyo2e1qb69pyn/wish/1859998091
