Lesson Plan Assessment Review...

This assignment asked us to "locate two lesson plans that you feel have a strong assessment component", and I confess that I struggled whether to look for lesson plans or assessment ideas.

Scholastic.com - From our Teaching Advisors: Assessing Students
I chose this because it seems to be a good resource for teachers needing lesson plans that will enable them to assess their students.  In particular, this link contains an article entitled, "Preparing High School Students for Standardized Exams", which should be of particular resonance for those of us expecting to teach in the state of Florida.

Discovery.com - Remediation for the 21st Century Student
As the description on the page reads: "Progress Zone combines diagnostic assessment with the power of Discovery Education’s educational videos to provide an item bank of over 60,000 items where educators can create, assign, and share assessments."


Again, that seems more like strictly assessment rather than a lesson plan to me, but hopefully it has some helpful aspects of both that prove useful.
