Formative Assessment Lesson

• Preassessment
• Students have 15 minutes to work on the
  preassessment.
• Collect papers and organize by common
  misconceptions
• To address misconceptions, create questions that
  will cause the learner to find their own mistakes.

7
Collaborative Activity

• Students will be paired, according to COMMON
  misconceptions, so that they make work through
  those together.
• Student groups may work at different paces.
• For this activity, all of the cards should remain
  in sight do not stack the cards.
• Work in pairs or triads and take turns laying a
  card and why you placed it where you did.

Whole Group Share-Out

• Engineering Classroom Discussion
• While students are working, make note of the
  understandings that students share
• Start with the least complex understanding for a
  group to share everyone enters here
• Move to the most complex understanding

10
Post Assessment

• After the whole group share, then students
  receive their 1st attempt of the Assessment
  (preassessment)
• Questions are shared (teacher-generated)
