Definition: The process of gathering evidence of student learning, providing feedback, and adjusting instruction strategies to enhance student achievement. With this strategy, learners can change behaviors, and the assessment can be with discussion, quizzes, and more. These are small assessments, that aren't weighted heavily, and occur very frequently in the classroom. It incorporates evidence of student learning, structure, participant-involved feedback, and instructional adjustments by the teacher.
Same Idea, New Situation: Students will take a selected idea from the teacher, and will place that scenario into a new situation. For example: Students will take the idea from Romeo and Juliet of impossible and socially-shunned love, and will tie it to one of the four historical periods: America in the 1920's, the 1980's (Mixed-racial or LGBTQ love transcending social boundaries) mid 2000's (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender love stories/Mixed-race), and today (all aforementioned examples). They will take the idea of socially-shunned love, and tie it to one of these situations!
3-2-1 Exit Ticket: At the end of class, students will have 4 minutes to write 3 things they learned today about Romeo and Juliet, two things they found interesting, and one question they still have.
