Formative
Definition: Formative assessment is a way to check for student understanding as well as gain immediate feedback on instruction to see how effective the lesson was. Formative assessments are given to check for understanding, so they would not necessarily need to be graded, but would need to be checked in order to modify instruction if needed.
Example: Students will write a short story about what their life would be like if they were a droplet a part of the water cycle.
Example: Students will create a math word problem on a sheet of paper with their name on it. After they will crumble their paper and throw it to someone across the room. This person will solve the problem and write their name next to their answer. After the students will crumble their paper again and toss it across the room. This time the student will justify the student's answer by telling me why they are correct or why they were not correct.
Performance
Definition: A performance assessment is an assessment where students act out or perform a task. This assessment does not require pencil and paper.
Example: Playing charades and the students are required to act out the topic they are learning about with out speaking.
