When the Oil runs out: formative assessment
Whitby
Dear ES300_1
I'm very pleased with the enthusiasm and interest you've shown so far. I'm enjoying this unit of work and the general positive atmosphere you've created in the classroom. Thanks.
But don't forget that we have to do the written work!
I've handed out a 'formative assessment' reading test for 'What happens when the oil stops coming?' by Denis Welsch and Matt Nippert. An online copy of this article is available at The Listener website.
Remember that the questions for this article are exactly the same questions you have when you site the final assessment: the difference is that in the final assessment you will answer questions on three unfamiliar texts. Please complete the assessment tomorrow whilst I'm away on a school trip. It must be handed in by Period 6 on Thursday.

Hey sir thanks for putting the story on the site, but I really need the questions because I gave my paper to someone else to use and she said that she lost it. I know its not a good excuse but I'll try and answer the questions, but putting our exercises on the website is very useful, so yeah a big thank you to you sir.See you next week.
Thanks

Thanks Jennifer. In hindsight, it would have been a good idea to put the questions up. Ideally, formative assessments should be done in a limited timeframe to mirror the conditions of the final assessment. I'm also aware that the document loses much of its format when published on a blog. Thanks for your comment!
