What is this text's main theme, or underlying themes that could be infered?
Formative Assessment
Definition: Formative assessments are low stake, and often non-graded assessments implemented within classroom instruction. Formative assessments are typically implemented to assess student understanding in order to evaluate the possible modification/adjustment of current instruction.
Example #2: Thumbs-Up/Thumbs Down: During classroom lecture, teacher assesses student understanding by having students raise a thumb-up ("I got it"), or a thumbs-down ("I don't understand"/"I need help").
Example #1: One Sentence Statement: Students write one sentence summarizing the main idea of a classroom lesson and submit this response as an exit-ticket.
Diagnostic Assessment
Definition: Diagnostic assessments are often used to help teachers plan, gauge, and determine instructional materials/lesson based upon current student knowledge before beginning an instructional unit/school year. Teachers use this assessment to determine student strengths and misconceptions about any given topic.
Example #1: Textbook pre-assessments: Many standard textbooks incorporate assessments that are designed for students/teachers to evaluate current understanding on a particular topic before beginning that specific unit.
Example #2: Vocabulary Window: This strategy requires students to evaluate vocabulary words embedded within a particular unit of study. This strategy prompts students to: 1) write the word 2) define the word 3) write synonyms of the word 4) illustrate a visual representation of the word. This can be done before a unit/novel for the teacher to emphasize more difficult words.
Summative Assessment
Definition: Summative assessments are implemented at the end of a larger period of study to evaluate if students have mastered a large compilation of instructional concepts; high stakes and high gradual impact.
Example #1: Unit Exam: As many schools often do, unit exams are implemented at the conclusion of a unit to assess student mastery within a standard instructional unit. These exams assess the cumulative knowledge and skills taught within an instructional unit.
Example #2: Book Report: Book reports can be implemented after a classroom/individual novel study. The methods of book reports can vary based on classroom demographics. Book reports can be assessed in the form of an essay, project-based, or cumulative student notes and reflection logs.

Perfomance Assessment
Definition: Performance assessments require students to physically construct, verbally recite, or produce a product thereof in order to demonstrate mastery.
Example #2: Play Performance: As opposed to reading a drama play in class, students could be assessed on their ability to verbally and physically perform said play.
Example #1: Project-Based Learning: PBL's require students to demonstrate knowledge and mastery of a topic by physically constructing a product based-upon a unit of study.
