Use both informal and formal methods for checking student understanding. Use the observation sheet to record how students interact in small groups. To gain more insight into students’ thinking, take anecdotal notes and ask probing questions, such as: How did you decide? What is your evidence and reasoning for the claim you made? Tell me more about your thinking. Other informal assessments include, previewing drafts and journals, and giving students feedback as they work through project activities during scheduled conferences.
Students use the tool rubric as they work on the Showing Evidence activity and self-assess after they complete the activity. Encourage students to consult each other by checking their work with their group members and providing peer feedback. Final assessment of the project learning goals can be made using the final project rubric.
