Instructional Ideas

  • Use the lesson plan to generate interest on a unit about the eight parts of speech
  • Have students research answers to questions they missed on the quiz and self-grade to identify areas of strength and refinement
  • Use scholars' scores on the pre-assessment to inform your instruction for the upcoming unit

Classroom Considerations

  • The lesson plan takes approximately 10 minutes; if you are using it, make sure to have plans for the rest a class period 

Pros

  • Pre-assessment generates data about individuals, allowing you to personalize instruction
  • Lesson begins with an interesting attention-getter

Cons

  • Does not provide answers to the attention-grabber and quiz
