Assessment Overview
Formative Assessments
Adaptation Skits
Students will be able to share what they have researched for the class about a certain animals’ adaptation. Students will present their
findings via skits at the end of the class. This is hoped to give the class knowledge about a wide variety of adaptations.
Observation
Monitoring student growth, participation, and effort will allow me to observe who is understanding the concepts being taught. Verbal
feedback for student improvement will be regularly given during lessons.
Discussion
Regular discussions before and after the lesson will help me understand who is understanding the purpose and concepts of each lesson.
Discussions allow the students to share different thoughts and opinions about a given topic and learn new perspectives and help
students think on a more in-depth level.
Summative Assessments
Quiz (15%)
