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 identify where reteaching is needed.
- The Teaching Guide contains the progress test script and 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.
