ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT

Discussion:
1. How was the class in Video segment #2 organized? Why do you think it was organized this way? What can peers offer each other in this situation?



2. What language skill were the students focusing on? What skills were they using as they worked together? Is this a form of assessment? If so, what kind of assessment was it, formative or summative?




3. What was the teacher's job, or role, during this activity? What was the students' responsibility? What might be some physical considerations related to using portfolios in your classroom?
