Excellent evaluation!

Great way to end a unit.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-a-Childrens-Book-A-Response-to-Literature-evaluation-No-Prep-1826671


This evaluation has been designed as a response to literature, but can easily be used on its own. At the end of a novel study (short stories, plays, any literature really), students are asked to take one of the themes from the novel and apply it to a children’s story.

What is being assessed?

-students’ understanding of theme
-students’ understanding of elements of plot
-students’ understanding of figures of speech
-and so much more…

What is included in the evaluation?

-The sheet with directions
-The work process sheets for students (students list their themes, characters, plot graph…)
-Evaluation sheet

In addition, the evaluation has been saved in a Word document for easy modifications.

All you have to do it print it and give it to students.

It's teaching made easy!
