Before I start my new Mandarin lesson, I will start with pre-assessment, which will be achieved by creating flexible groups to addressed differentiated students’ needs. What I do is flipping over my ten quizzes about the face topic, including head, eye, eyebrow, nose, mouth and ears and etc. Students should circle or line it, then turn it back over. I will collect the quizzes and graded the paper quickly, sorted students into different piles, while students watch a video about the next topic
Then I will divide students into three groups on the basis of quizzes results. If students got ten questions all correct, they are put into top students. If they miss one or two, they are the second group or mid-range group. What’s more, if they are miss more than two, they will be put into the low perform students, and the special education students are also concluded.
top students
-
I will give them some questions, which are challenging to think about the functions of each part of the face.
the online games Kahoot with ten more quizzes are provided, top students can go over questions
students will choose one of the games listed which related to the next new content,
-
Formative assessment: KWL chart is an effective evaluation tool. The "L" can also be used as part of an open-ended question on a test allowing the students to share the depth of knowledge that was gained in the unit of study.
mid-range students
-
-
peers are going to check each other, marked it on the quizzes paper.
sent me one presentative from each group to the front of the room to get the first word or concept from me
go through vocabularies and sentences by working in pairs and using a timer, pencil, and paper.
student returns to their groups and gets ready to draw a pictorial representation of the word without speaking and without using words or letters

-
when they got it, they can draw it into the sheet.
Formative assessment: one is from quizzes paper, another one is from the drawing sheet. By doing this procedure, students can get really involved and focused.
low performance students
-
don’t stop remediation with this group, close to learning a new content, these few students got to review into content for the next day.
-
encourage students to make flashcards of keywords that they missed, the students chat with each other while they making flashcards about the face,
I will explain the last content and ask one or two of low-performance students to repeat my directions, make sure they can totally understand the content.
Courage students practice these cards a little more, and they will have it.
-
For special education students, more time about representation will be provided.
-
Formative assessment is I will orally check their cards by asking them questions. For the special students, I will use Yes/No Cards
