Module Tasks
Formative assessments are ongoing assessments that occur before and during a unit of study. We use the information from these assessments to adjust our instruction and to keep students on track. Summative assessments occur at the end of a unit or project. They can provide useful information if you take the time to look analytically at the assessments.
 * Copy/paste the standards into your unit plan. Remember these can be changed as you develop your unit further.
 * Write an essential question, unit questions, and content questions for your unit plan. Your unit plan should be in your portfolio. Make sure you refer to the rubric for Curriculum -Framing Questions (page 2.05 and 2.06). Refer to the handout __Sample Curriculum-Framing Questions__.
