This semester, we are reading Their Eyes
Were Watching God in my sophomore English class. The students are assigned
a journal entry to accompany the reading of each chapter in the book. This is
formative assessment, and most students score full credit if they follow the
directions. The average combined grade on chapter 1-10 journal homework in my
class averaged to 92.5%. This data includes the grades of students who did not
complete journal entries and therefore earned zero credit. In order to truly
assess if students met the learning objectives for the unit I would include triangulation,
meaning I could look at two more ways of assessing the students, such as a test
on the book (summative assessment) and classroom based observations, such as
participation.
