IV. Assessment Plan

There will be an informal assessment of each student as I walk around the room. I will ask
students questions to gauge their awareness and understanding of the topic, and I will look at
their work. Additionally, I will take a picture of each groups final work to conduct a formal
assessment of the final product the group came up with. Lastly, there will be the informal
assessment of the self-reflection the students complete.
