Progress Test
End-of-Unit Assessment
- Progress Tests are conducted after Lesson 5. They allow teachers to monitor student understanding of the concepts taught over the past five lessons and to identify where reteaching is needed.
- 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.
