Informal Assessment
Students will be observed working on their Book Tweets via the Submission Google Slide. By using a
shared document, the teacher can monitor each student’s progress, stepping in and addressing any
confusion, finding opportunities to highlight possible improvements on tweets, or spotlight well
written tweets with the whole class or individuals.
Formal Assessment
Students will complete their Book Tweet either in class or as a homework. The English teacher will
assess the final tweets.
