Assessment: Voicethread

This particular resource enables the teacher to utilise the three areas of assessment. For this particular example, the students are presented with the front cover of the novel "Holes" by Louis Sachar. This allows for predictions and using visual cues to justify their answer. This could be utilised as a diagnostic assessment tool. As the novel goes on, the students would be able to orally record answers to questions from the text. With this being a formative assessment, the focus is also on comprehension skills. Finally, voicethread can be used as a summative tool in the way that they can be again be presented with the front cover of the text and posed the question "Why did the author choose these particular images?", from here their knowledge of the text can again be recorded either in oral or written form.
