Pre-Assessment+Bres

For the "Pre-Assessment" to our Weather Unit, we do the following:

First, the teacher will ask students to take out their journals. The teacher will have the students write two facts that they know about weather. Next, the students will be asked to write one question that they would like to know about weather. The students will be asked to hand this paper in. By doing this, the students will begin thinking about the topic of "weather". This will also provide a way for the teacher to better understand the what the students do, and do not know about weather. This way, the teacher can not only clarify any misconceptions that the students may have, but also use the students current knowledge base about weather to better direct the content of the unit.
