This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).

The teacher will demonstrate how to describe how to describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. Then fill out a data worksheet collection this information. The teacher will give the student time to work with a partner to describe the main character in a book they have just read and fill out the same information data sheet. Then the teacher will demonstrate how to use that information to complete a Presentation in Mac Keynote Slide and then will allow students time to make their own presentations, which will need to contain components in the assignment rubric.
