Formative assessment can be fun and creative! 1. Break students into groups and challenge them to put on a skit. Skits work with almost any content area! They can be used to show understanding of a particular reading passage, a timeline of events in social studies, problem-solving in math, or a process in science. 2. Have students create a quiz. Students could create a short quiz on a topic and exchange it with a partner. The partner groups could then have a discussion about the questions and answers. Another option would be for students to submit questions and you could select a few to create a quiz. 3. Use self-evaluation charts in your classroom. From time to time, ask students to rate their learning. Students are quite aware of how well they are grasping the material you are teaching, so simply ask them! These charts have been super helpful in getting quick feedback from students. Students rate their understanding on a scale of 1 - 5. There is no 0 because being ready to learn counts! You're sure to smile when students rate themselves an off-the-charts 10! Are you a subscriber yet? FREE Activity for new subscribers: Sign up for the Fourth Grade Frenzy newsletter!
