Pre Assessment Strategies

The document outlines three pre-assessment strategies for gauging student understanding: 'Thumb It' for quick feedback on knowledge levels, 'Yes/No Cards' for binary responses to questions, and 'Graffiti Fact' for collaborative brainstorming about a topic. Each strategy encourages student participation and self-assessment. These methods aim to identify what students know, what they have learned, and what they want to learn next.

Pre-Assessment Strategies

ƒ Have students respond with the position of their thumb to get a


quick assessment.
ƒ Where am I now in my understanding of ________?
ƒ Thumbs Up-Know a lot about this
ƒ Thumbs Sideways-Know some about this
ƒ Thumbs Down-Know very little

Yes/No Cards
ƒ Students are given two index cards or students can make simple cards
with notebook paper.
ƒ Students write YES on one card and NO on the other.
ƒ When a question is asked, students hold up YES or NO.
ƒ Ex. Ask the students if they know the meaning of a metaphor?
Periodically call on someone who has a YES card held up to let
students know you may ask sometimes.

GRAFFITI FACT

ƒ Write all the things the class knows about the topic of study on white
board, large Post-It, Smart Board, or allow students to write down
their own responses in a notebook.
ƒ What We Knew, What We Learned, What We Want to Learn Next
ƒ Suggestion: Allow students to brainstorm the question independently
at first .
