This formative activity was a whole group activity, with modeling, brainstorming together, and 1 to 1 conferences. It allowed me to see what they know,and if they can apply previously taught skills. It also allows me to see where any gaps exist, so that I can continue to tailor my instruction.

This is one example of a quick formative activity in my 20 page Nouns Smartnotebook. I make these to instruct the students and then include activities just to check on how much the students have learned from a particular lesson. Sometimes the students will go up to the board and write in the correct responses;other times they might move responses in the correct place, as with the Venn diagram activity.
