The differential exercises and tasks provided in the Let’s Practice section are directly related
to the instructional goals of each lesson in each unit. These exercises and tasks can be used
for ongoing assessment of pupils in order to monitor their progress and provide constructive
feedback for improvement.
The performance tasks which appear in each unit, allow pupils to demonstrate their knowledge
and skills of the instructional objectives through performance on authentic integrated tasks.
These tasks include Checklists which serve as guidelines to pupils for successfully completing
the task as well criteria for the teacher to assess it.
In addition, teachers can make use of the following generic rubrics in order to assess pupils’
progress and performance of these criteria throughout the course of instruction. Teachers can
assess pupils on all or some of the criteria depending on their task and their objectives.
