- The Teaching Guide contains the progress test script and there is a handout for students to write their answers on.
End-of-unit assessment
- Week 10 is the end-of-unit assessment, which has the same variety of question formats as the progress tests (e.g. multiple choice, filling in blanks/punctuation, editing, constructing, and improving sentences) to assess student mastery of sentence level writing development from the unit.
