Use varied and carefully constructed questions that provide a balance of mix of all types.

Knowledge and Comprehension- In all lessons I work hard to include thin and thick questions to informally assess my students knowledge and comprehension.

Application and Analysis- This is apparent daily during our smartboard calendar as students apply the knowledge they have learned in different rigorous math activities through daily calendar.

Whole Class signaling- in our class we use thumbs up and thumbs down

Group and Individual Answers- I always include opportunities for individual and group answers

Written and Shared Responses- With our Making Meaning Series, each week children respond in their writer's workshop notebook a connection that have to the book that is read. After writing our responses, students get a chance to share their writing with the class.
