Inquiry Progress #2

After my students have learned about the different areas of the house, and were able to act out what they do in each room (showering, eating, sleeping….). Now we started putting the family members in the different rooms. We put one person at the time until we have covered the 6 areas and the 6 persons. Then we played the “what’s missing” game is when the students have to close eyes and I will take down one person at the time and they have to guess it. In a different activity I asked the students to put the family members in different areas of the house. Putting the family members in the different room after a verbal command will count as assessment for understanding.

  1. Sounds like good formative assessment- is there a summative assessment too- I can't remember?
