I ordered the Scholastic book, 25 Quick Formative Assessments for a Differentiated Classroom to use with my middle school geography students. The book is for grades 3-8.This assessment/teacher idea book is excellent. It is easy to follow and very simple to implement. As soon as I rec'vd it, I put several of the formative assessment tools to work in my sixth grade geography classes.I especially like the cooperative group activities. They have a real-world component that gives students an opportunity to work in collaborative groups. The activities have a critical thinking component built into them.The title is absolutely correct. This is an easy and very low-prep assessment tool. The activities are so low prep, you can even use them in your Sub emergency plans. You don't necessarily have to use them for assessment. They are excellent for integration into regular daily activities.However, when using for Subs, be sure to hold students accountable for their work as they will be working in cooperative groups. This will reduce socializing when a Sub is present.The activities are creative, and they can be adjusted for use with several grade levels. The activities are also flexible, and can be used with a significant number of concepts.The activities can be modified for use with gifted students, exceptional education students, and regular education students.I divided students into groups of 3 or 4, distributed a class set copy of the handout 'Headline News! Summary (p. 82-85), distributed a class set copy of a current georgraphy based news article (weather disaster in Japan, Haiti, and Northern U.S., etc.), assigned students a group number, and assigned students to a section of the classroom.
