Evaluation Tool The observation guide that you photocopied at the beginning of the unit is an extremely useful tool for evaluating each student individually, as observation is a flexible approach that gives you the opportunity to mix qualitative and quantitative data about a process within a natural context. Use the key provided to fill in the spaces. Try to quantitatively assess your students’ progression during the unit, making some notes on each point in every lesson. This information will be very helpful to see which activities fit best each of their learning styles. Don’t forget to write comments for each of the aspects based on your observations so you may complete your assessment with qualitative information that may enable you to design strategies to support them individually. Finally, use the space provided to write additional observations about the way in which you can guide students to meet the outcomes on the list. Always keep in mind that this tool will help you identify both struggling and advanced students (who may already be able to successfully complete the outcomes before they have worked on the related activities), which will give you the opportunity to use appropriate pair tutoring when working collaboratively.

Review The aim of these activities is to first have students work individually so they can practice the skills they learned during the unit. It is a great opportunity to give individualized support to struggling students. They then have an opportunity for further practice in pairs or in groups. Another useful strategy is to promote tutoring between pairs, so advanced students may help their classmates. In any case, monitor them closely while they work on these activities so they feel confident enough to attain the achievements by themselves.
