In this unit we learned how teachers assess informally. We think that this information is important for teachers in general not only for English teachers. It is also important for students because sometimes they don`t know how they will be assessed and this should not be. Obviously, explaining students the assessments criteria will make them work harder, put more effort in classroom activities, and have better attitudes.
This knowledge reminded us of the importance of being objective and having clear criteria in informal assessment, but also how having all the information written down can come in handy when there is a problem, for example, a complaint. We liked the importance given to informal assessment because we think that only combining both formal and informal assessment is a fair way to assess students.
This unit had some activities that took a lot of time and effort in order to accomplish, but it has been a very interesting unit and has taught us a lot.

Hello team,
ResponderEliminarI liked the illustrations a lot. Good job.
I would just like to add to your reflection that the idea of making an assessment plan is to focus your attention on planning not only the lessons but the assessment what is sometimes forgotten.
