Hi Everyone! Do you have any ideas for informal assessments for young learners. They are between 8-9 years old. I tryly am grateful for any suggestions. Susy |

How about an achievement chart which could be a magnetic board, big enough to have the list of your students � names. You could put it next to the board where it would be easily reachable for you and visible for the students and then you could choose tokens to put next to the student �s name to indicate his/her progress during the lesson. You could have three kinds of the tokens: one for a perfect answer/participation, one for an answer with minor mistakes, and one for a fair answer. Then you could make those merits/tokens to fit the topic, say a sun, a sun with a cloud, and a cloud when you teach seasons and weather, etc. You will need to glue magnets on them. Sophia |

Just like Sophia, when I teach the children about 7-9, I use the same way. But, the difference is that I have 40+ studnets in my class. So it is hard to show every students � name on the board. I just commen their work in group. Ususally, I write "group 1 to 4" on the blackboard. If I teach the letter "J", I will draw 3"J" for the best group. And may be 1 "J" for the others. Sometimes, a student may show us an exllcent answer. And I will give this group a big "smile". Anyway, I think this assessment is very useful when students is very young. Now, my students are around 11. They don �t like this now. |
