Pre-­‐

 Assessment    
Pre-Assessment:
For our pre-assessment, will have the words noun and verb written on the board. When our
mentor teacher introduces new vocabulary, she has the new vocabulary words written on the
board and reads the words aloud to the students, asking if they might know what the word
means. By doing this she has an understanding of words they know, and words they have not
yet learned. As we ask the students about nouns and verbs, and ask for examples, we will have
baseline data of their knowledge about nouns and verbs to go off of for our unit.

 
Results    
Students  did  not  know  what  a  noun  or  verb  was.  Most  did  not  answer  and  only  one  child  
said  a  noun  was  a,  e,  i,  o,  u.  There  was  no  background  knowledge.    

Post Assessment
• Summative Assessment
• Students will be asked to identify nouns and verbs and give specific examples of each.
• Performance tasks: Given pictures with nouns and verbs, students will sort and glue
them under the correct heading of noun or verb. (Differentiated Instruction Identify and
Categorize p. 48).
 
Differentiated  Instruction:  
Identify and Categorize p.48
The naturalistic learner prefers to classify and recognize concepts. By identifying and
categorizing nouns and verbs, students were able to evaluate and recall the information they
had previously learned.
 
 
Results  
There  was  a  huge  difference  between  the  beginning  of  the  unit  and  the  end.  Before  the  unit  
they  did  not  know  what  a  noun  or  verb  was.  Now,  most  were  able  to  differentiate  between  
between  and  categorize  them.  There  were  a  couple  students  missing  as  well.  10  students  
received  a  100%.  4  students  only  missed  1.    1  student  missed  2.  And  2  students  missed  four  
or  more.  Something  to  note  is  that  those  two  students  are  also  both  below  grade  level  and  
struggle  in  multiple  subjects.  But  I  feel  with  increased  lessons  they  would  be  able  to  get  it.
