Lesson Plan Assessment Review

Poetry Dedication


I strongly believe in having multiple assessment forms, and this is a more creative way to evaluate what students have learned about poetry as a whole. This lesson plan would be ideal for a ninth-grade class, and suitable for the end of a broad, introductory unit to poetry. The booklet is both peer-reviewed and reviewed by the instructor, which adds that extra element of evaluation that will give the student lots of feedback on their work.



Arthurian Legend Unit

Although it has a more traditional set-up, this is an excellent lesson plan that would be more for advanced 11th grade and 12th grade classrooms. Each daily activity is accompanied by a formative assessment, and the entire plan is capped off by a group summative writing assessment. I might like this plan so much because I have a soft spot for medievalism, but who doesn't love a good King Arthur story?
