Virtual learners can also be assessed by a teacher with this "Visualize (be the illustrator)" Activity. Students can share with the teacher either via, paintbrush, their computer screen, or scan and send as an email attachment to teacher. As well, students can self-assess using this activity by looking at their illustration and then compare it to the page the teacher read.
#1. Middle School English teacher assigns students a chapter to read. Formative assessment As learning for teacher insight into student understanding of material. Also as a Formative assessment For learning for students reflection and self-evaluation of assignment completed in class. Activity: Traffic Light BONUS: If time is short at end of class this can be a quick informal assessment tool that students can just check off prior to leaving class. For the teacher and the student this is a quick, ungraded, informative approach to assess what the student has understood in the class, or not."Printing on post-it notes is actually pretty simple and fun! Slap a clip-art picture of a traffic light on there and you have a perfect formative assessment tool that students can complete when time is short at the end of class."* Teachers can also use this activity for informal assessment tools For learning. After class, teachers can look at each one and make three piles: 1. Students who are Green and are on track 2. Students who are Yellow and need more practice/assistance 3. Students who are Red and do not know what the expectations for the lesson/assignment are. Whichever pile is bigger gives the teacher an instant insight into student understanding of material. If the Red pile is bigger, a different presentation of the material is in order, and teacher can address issue next class. If Yellow is larger, more review and student practice is in order, and teacher can plan for more or adjusted review of material. If it's Green then teacher may proceed with lessons. Additionally, if students names are on the slips, it gives a teacher insight into which students are Green, Yellow, and Red for each assignment. #7. Traffic Light

During this English class reading assignment, a teacher can use, "Entrance Tickets" (a slip of paper with two brief questions related to the previous lesson). This would be to assess students retention of the previous days lesson. This Performance assessment tool, helps a teacher to adjust and provide, if needed, a brief (or detailed) review of the previous days lesson. There would be no sense going forward with the assignment if the students have not retained the lesson of the previous class.
Teachers can also use the "Traffic Light" Exit Tickets as Summative assessments Of learning.
Teachers can ask students specific questions about the reading - as a test at the end of the chapter/book. For each question the student answers, they will then color in the "traffic light" to indicate their confidence of their answers:
Green for positive, Yellow for uncertain, and Red for "no clue!".

Middle School English teacher reading to students. Formative assessment For learning**: to informally assess students understanding of what they hear, process, interpret, and their expression of the lesson. To be used prior to continuing on to the next page for teacher's immediate source of assessing students understanding of material to identify those students who may be struggling in some way. May also be used by students for a Formative As learning assessment for students to self-evaluate their ability to pay attention, understand what is being read, their accuracy in processing information, and either fill in the missed details, or with other students as a compare/contrast of information.Curated by David Wees (n.a.) 56 Different Examples of Formative Assessment.pdf.

Teachers can send the Virtual Classroom Learners a "Traffic Light" that they can fill out using "paintbrush" online and share with teacher. This immediate feedback provides the teacher the ability to quickly adjust lesson plans for differentiated learning. It provides for less frustration and increased student engagement, which ultimately saves teacher time in the long run and provides for a smoother continuity of learning for the students.
This "Visualize (be the Illlustrator)" activity may also be used as a Summative assessment Of learning. Students will create a book, from their daily illustrations from what the teacher has read. Students will have included more illustrative detail - as the class will have continually reviewed material together. At the end of the chapter/book the Illustrated book that the students have created will serve as a template for the students to include written details underneath the illustrations to create a book (of the same story) that the teacher has read.
This "Visualize" activity can also be used as a Performance assessment tool. At the beginning of class. The students are given the illustration that they created the previous day. They writes one or two main points from the previous lesson. This helps a teacher to adjust and provide, if needed, a brief (or detailed) review of the previous days lesson. There would be no sense going forward with the assignment if the students have not retained the lesson of the previous class. Source: Edutopia (2023) George Lucas Educational Foundation.
