Sample Summative Assessment

This grammar quiz was created as a summative assessment for my 8th grade ELA classes during my student teaching at Eyer Middle School. Throughout my teaching, students would be engaged in a ten-minute grammar warm-up. Before this assessment, students would circle the preposition or compound preposition while underlining or highlighting the entire prepositional phrase. This process was repeated throughout six class periods, where students would have correctly identified the prepositions and prepositional phrases for every five sentences out of a list of thirty. As a summative assessment, students were instructed to complete the quiz with the exact directions as their warm-up. To help students with learning support needs and language support needs, at the end of each sentence, I provided the number of prepositions and prepositional phrases they would need to identify.
