Assessing students is perhaps the most difficult thing teachers do because we actually need to know what a student has learned. We can do that with questions during class, homework and paper and pencil tests, portfolios and performance tasks. When constructing the assessments for your lessons, please take a look at that big handout I gave you with the pentagon with Bloom's taxonomy and verbs that go with it. There are sheets in that packet that will give you assessment ideas and activities.

I have attached two files that will help you when writing questions for class discussions and assessments.

Also take a look at these sites for questioning techniques and activities. []
