Text Types Assessment
A simple assessment tool where students demonstrate their learning from the Types of Text Unit. Students are required to identify real and make-believe images, fiction and non-fiction texts as well as identify common signs. Students can be extended to show their understanding of fiction and non-fiction text types.
Whole class quiz to informally assess or help students revise their knowledge. Use prior to the assessment sheet to see if any concepts need to be revised.
