Definition: A formative assessment or assignment is a tool teachers use to give feedback to students and/or guide their instruction.
It is not included in a student grade, nor should it be used to judge a teacher's performance. Both of these would be considered summative assessments.

1. 3x Summarization [Student work]
To check understanding, ask kids to write three different summaries:
One in 10-15 words
One in 30-50 words
One in 75-100 words.
The different lengths require different attention to details. Compare/ contrast with peers/ look at teacher model (via document camera.)
