What literacy strategies from your RICA notebook could you use for formative assessments in lessons?

  1. I often use the ticket out the door as a formative assessment. I post a question on my active board. Students answer it on paper or verbally as they exit my room. It is a quick way to discern student understanding.

  2. I also ask an exit question to my students on certain days. If they dont know the answer I make them go to the back of the line. They can not exit the room until they can answer the question. Some times I will open a classroom chat room to ask the question and have a discussion with the class.

  3. I use exit slips as a way of assessing what my students have learned during a particular class. Another strategy that works well as a formative assessment is the probable paragraph/possible sentence. Students take key vocabulary and create a paragraph/sentence that accurately discusses the topic covered. I usually let lower level students do the possible sentence.

    I sometimes use "One Sentence Summaries" as formative assessments in a lesson. "Shaping Up Review" is another thing I have used with my sixth graders.

  5. I use sticky notes and one sentence summaries to determine if my students comprehend the information covered. I also use QAR often to help students see the relationships between the kind of answer they must proviide based on the type of question they were given.

  6. The "ticket out the door" is one of the ways I try to determine if my students understand the concept we covered that day in class. It is a quick and easy way to do a formative assessment.

  7. "Ticket out the Door" is the stragety that I use most often in my room. That way I know exactly who "gets it" and who doesn't. Then I can plan for reteaching or remediation for those students who are lost.

  8. I often use a rubric as a formative assessment and allow the kids to assess each other.

  9. I use exit questions. I also ask them to tell me one thing they remember from the lesson.

  10. Many of the strategies can be used as tools for formative assessment. I also like exit questions ("tickets out") if I need to check student comprehension of one or two specific things. I use quick writes at the beginning of class sometimes, asking students to summarize what they've learned that week (or the day before). I use all sorts of graphic organizers for checking student knowledge/comprehension/retention as well.

  11. I like to use rubrics for assessing projects because they outline the criteria and provide a checklist for students so they can review their assignments to ensure they are meeting my requirements and expectations. Rubrics also allow me to provide detailed feedback by grading the assignment in sections which helps me define student strengths and weaknesses.

  12. I like the dump and clump literacy strategy as an assessment. In band, we have musical areas that can have many musical terms within that area.

  13. I like so many others use the ticket out the door or one sentence summary to assess what students were to learn in class that day. With class room projects, I will use a rubric. This provides students with specific areas in which they were successful or need to improve before the next assignment.

  14. I will be honest. I need to use more of the strategies to formally assess my students. I at times have used "ticket out the door", but I do more verbal communication. I also have students to work out some of the more challenging problems to show that they know how and not just put down an answer.

  15. I have used ticket out the door with my students. Of course I have to modify this strategy however it works well with my students. Mandy Barriger

  16. I like using the ticket out the door strategy. This allows me to see what my students learned during class, as well as being a guide for class the next day.
