1. Have the students take out a piece of paper. Ask them questions about the topic they will be learning about, some specific and some vague questions so you can see what they already know.
2. As a teacher, establishing anchors helps you to gain a sense of where your students are starting at and how far they are as they're working towards their learning goals.
3. A great way to assess them is to give them homework after you have taught them something and to see what they gained from it. A few others ways to assess would be quizzes, a jeopardy game, and a personal conference to check in on their knowledge.
4. This chapter relates greatly to our project. We had prior knowledge about fitness and things within that topic. Assessing the students is also something we have involved in our project lessons to asses the students knowledge and what they've learned.
I like how you chose really easy assessments for your students. They won't cause students to freak out for being too difficult. Also I like how you talk about the importance of anchors. Great work partner
ReplyDeletePrior knowledge is extremely important when a student is taught something new. Using prior knowledge with a student makes it easier for them to grasp the concept of new material.
