53 Ways to Check Understanding

Edutopia put out this list of 53 Ways to check for understanding.  They are applicable across the curriculum.

Some of my favorites are:


#3 - The 411 - Describe the author’s objective. Or better yet, the teacher's objective of the lesson.

#35. Tagxedo - What are key words that express the main ideas (or concepts)? Be ready to discuss and explain.

#53. Misconception Check - Given a common misconception about a topic, students explain why they agree or disagree with it.
