Assessment of student learning

 As said in the lesson plan, collocations are something that may not show progress in one class, it is something that comes with practice. Teacher
can look at the edited readings and will be able to gauge a class understanding by the kahoot scores. This knowledge is helpful when it comes to
editing student work as the teacher can identify that the ss can used a collocation, and the ss can understand how to use them.
