8. If you used a game for teaching, then it is quite
likely that the game is also useful as an assessment
activity.
9. We must be clear that marks do not just mean
numbers or letters such as 8/10 or B+, comments such
as ‘good’, smiley faces or stars are also marks, at least
in the eyes of many young learners. It is also important
to think about the purpose of the assessment.
Activity 4. What are we really assessing? Materials: notebooks and pencils to draw. Try the following two activities with the group of
teachers you are training and then discuss the ques-
tions in the ‘Round-up’ section.
A mime game (reading) 1. Start by handing each participant two small piec-
es of paper.
2. Next, ask them to write a verb (an action/doing
word) on one piece of paper and an adverb on the other
piece.
3. At the front of the class, put out two chairs and
ask the participants to come and put all the verbs on
one chair and all the adverbs on the other.
4. Mix up all the pieces of paper on each chair.
5. Select one person to come to the front, choose
a piece of paper from each chair and then act out the
action in the way described by the adverb – the other
participants have to guess. Note: The person miming
MUSTN’T speak.
6. Do this with three people. Then, divide the class
into groups and explain they will do it in groups with
people taking turns to come and collect two pieces of
paper and then mime the actions.
