ASSESSMENT

a. After establishing meaning of new structures/new content with students, have them hold up their fingers to show you how much they know. 10 fingers = 100%, 5 fingers = 50%. Your goal is to have everyone at 80% or above. Your barometer kids are the lowest. Teach and re-teach to those students until they get it.

25. **Kinesthetic T/F (Jason Fritze)** a. This is a quick informal assessment that can be done by asking the students True/False questions. If the answer is true, they all raise their hands in the air, wiggle their fingers and yell, ‘whooooo!’ If the answer is false, they stomp their feet on the ground.



 a. On a small slip of paper, each student writes down a new vocabulary structure/question related to the content studied that day. Then, they crumple the paper up and then throw it at another student in the room either haphazardly (hitting them in the head) or by making eyes with them before tossing it. That student opens it up and translates or responds to the question. Turn it in for a quick informal assessment. b. Slower processing students may need more time. One variation would be to give them the paper at the beginning of class. Then, at any time during class they can jot down their question/vocabulary word.
