What can go wrong?
Your students don’t have enough background knowledge to make accurate predictions• Again, a great pre-
assessment!• Revisiting questions
and predictions is crucial!
Assessment• Use as a formative
assessment• What do they know?• Where are the gaps in
their understanding?• What do I need to
reteach?
Assessment
Give students participation points/credit
Probable Passage should take almost no time to grade!
Assessment
Skim students’ writing for content• Don’t assess
conventions! (spelling, punctuation, grammar)
Your turn
Think about the texts your students will be reading during the first four weeks of school. Choose at least one text to support with Probable Passage. If you have the text here, begin selecting the 10-15 students will use.
