Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level:

Formative:

Summative:

In this Unit Plan the introductory

assessment is going to be a brainstorm.
In this activity, the students will get into
small groups and discuss of what they
know about the parts of speech. After
they are done, the entire class is going to
discuss of what they found. This will help
the teacher to see where she has to start
lecturing, depending of what the
students know.

The formative assessments are going

to be given to the students throughout
the entire Unit Plan. This will help the
teacher to know if the students are
understanding the concept of the lesson.

In this unit there are going to be two

summative assessments, a final exam
and the digital summative assessment.
These two are going to let the teacher
know what the students were able to
learn during the entire Unit Plan.
