Useful Assessment Technique

Here's a short article that describes one teacher's approach to informal assessment.  It's an excellent technique that all teachers can use.  It can especially be helpful for ELLs (English Language Learners).

Students have one minute to respond to:

• I was surprised to learn...
• I wish...
• Today I learned...
• My biggest question is...
• My biggest concern is...

Instant assessment!  Especially helpful prior to an exam.
