Formative assessment:
Grade through worksheet

Most of the students have content knowledge in using sentence structure. Few are still processing in learning how to use the content in the sentence structure. They know the meaning but struggle to make it right all the time. (Post a video of the explanation and have the student practice it a few times after replying the video - using Voicethread)

*

All students are interested in the topic. They would like to have more time in class with the same subject. (In the next class plan to add a few more sentence structures and new vocabulary on the same topic discussion.)
