B.5 Assessment Strategies

B.5.1 Review strategies

Most lessons contain review questions that pertain to content from the previous lesson. Strategies for the use of review questions can be selected from the following list:

•Individual students answer review questions on their computers.

•Pairs of students discuss and answer review questions on their computers.

•Pairs or small groups of students discuss and answer review questions before each student completes the review.

•The entire class or groups of students discuss review questions and enhance their levels of comprehension through the discussion.

•Small groups each discuss a portion of the questions and explain their findings to other groups to demonstrate their knowledge. This is an example of the jigsaw technique.

•The entire class plays a game in which one person states a fact, which represents the correct answer to a question, and leaves out an important piece of information. The rest of the class must respond with the missing information in the form of a question. For example, the fact could be “This is the first layer of the OSI” and the correct response would be “What is the physical layer?” Points can be awarded for correct responses based on the level of difficulty.

•Student teams or small groups design analogies to explain concepts to other teams of students.
