ASSESSMENT SAMPLES
I.
Pre-assessment
Think-Puzzle-Explore:
This visual thinking routine will, not only help me to pre-assess
the students readiness, but will also allow the students to
self-reflect on their knowledge. This self-reflection is very
important as it highlights for the students the significance of
learning this topic, helps them set their own learning objects
and their expectations, as well as ensures a high level of
engagement and enjoyment all through the learning process.
I will display on the white board posters showing patterns and
non-patterns. Then, I will distribute graphic organizers among
the students and ask them to fill them in based on their
exploration of the posters. In the graphic organizer they will
answer the following questions:
What do you think of the two sets of shapes on the
posters?
What questions and puzzles arise in your mind while
observing the two sets and they way objects are
arranged?
What will you do to explore those questions?
Then, I will ask the students to share their thoughts with their
classmates and discussions are triggered. Through the
students answers and their contribution to the discussion, I
will be able to pre-assess them.
