I use exit tickets after my
math lessons as a method
of assessing if my
students understood the
concept before we move
on to the next lesson. I use
KWL charts to understand
what my students already
know about a subject. I
am creating my own
assessments for ELA
using a blend of questions
from various sources.
There are a range of types
of questions that are
asked so that students
have different
opportunities to
demonstrate what they
know. For example: Use 4
words from the
vocabulary list to write a
story. Another example
would be our post card
activity. Students will
draw Ivan’s domain’s and
write a postcard to Tag
