__Type of assessment:__ Informal assessments through observations. __Context:__ Students have been working on writing summaries and this assessment was to see if they are understanding the concept, need more work, or have achieved the goal. __Structure:__ Students were given a book that was below their reading level to insure that they were easily to comprehend the story. Then students were given a worksheet to record the five w’s to scaffold their summaries. Then students were asked to write their summaries on a single chapter. After students had an opportunity to write the summary the teacher called on a few students to read aloud their summaries. The teacher then told what was good and bad of their summaries. __Results and Implantation:__ The students who were given feedback were able to adjust their summary so that it conformed better to the criteria of a summary. The students who did not get feedback were still able to take the same concepts in the feedback given to other students to correct their summaries if they felt the need to. __Reflection:__ This assessment provided help for those students who actually received feedback. Those who did not share their summaries were unable to receive feedback and I feel at this level they would not be able to strongly vicarious and independently correct their summaries by the feedback given to the other students. Although this does assess if some of the class is getting the concept it does not give an accurate representation of the class and their development on this concept.
