JoAnne, Melissa and Gayle discussed the best way to assess III students. We agreed that we should have a summative assessment on the 1st part of Ch 1 - preterit. We are going to try 12 original sentences, each awarded 1 pt verb, 1pt comprehensibility, 1 pt preterit indicator. The assessment will also have 5 pts overall for grammar. We will determine the appropriate number of errors for 5, 4, 3..... We plan on giving this common summative the 2nd week of October, the specific date TBA.
