💡 Creative Ways to Use Printed Assessments
Printed assessments can be versatile tools in your classroom. Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:
Phenomenon-Based Activities
Beginning of a Unit: Print the phenomenon section and use it as an anchoring activity to build curiosity and introduce new concepts.
Mid-Unit Exploration: Select 2D/3D questions tied to the phenomenon. Have students work in small groups to analyze the questions, discuss their reasoning, and address misconceptions.
End-of-Unit Application: Use a new phenomenon linked to the same performance expectations to evaluate how well students apply their learning to a novel situation.
Reviewing Completed Assessments
Print the completed assessment and review it as a group using the Answers by Question Matrix to pinpoint common challenges and misconceptions.
Peer Discussions: Have students collaborate in table groups to identify tricky questions and explain their thinking to each other.
Incorporate Whole-Group, Small-Group, or Partner Activities
K-W-L Charts: Kick off a lesson by asking students what they know, what they wonder about the phenomenon, and revisit what they’ve learned after the activity.
Think, Pair, Share Activities: Encourage students to brainstorm, discuss, and share their insights about a phenomenon with a partner or small group.
Revisit Challenging Standards: If certain standards need reinforcement, print assessments tied to the same performance expectations and work through them together.
