Preassessment

C and I went to give our four item constructed response preassessment to our class. The students took between 10-15 minutes to complete it. Overall, most students knew a little bit about each question, except for "What is erosion?" which seemed to confuse many. The preassessment gave us a good idea of where the students were in their understanding of the unit topics in order to guide our instruction. We knew that most students had some prior knowledge to call on but that they lacked complete understanding on the topics.
