Description

In this video, the instructor assesses his students' progress by checking on their small group discussions and also grading their written work which will be turned in at the end of class. Each group picks two poems to perform for the class, and afterwards their peers react to both the performance elements of the poem and the actual language used. The instructor recognizes and celebrates successful performances and stimulates further class discussion.
