WHAT'S STILL CONFUSING ME...

"New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become."
Kurt Vonnegut

OVERVIEW

This assessment provides students with the opportunity to express to the teacher what they identify as the least understood aspect of the lesson thus far.

IMPLEMENTING THIS ACTIVITY
  1. After a lesson, ask students to provide a brief, written identification of what topics they consider to be confusing and not fully understood.
  2. Read and synthesize the responses, allow them to inform your instruction, and address the main problems in class.
