Put it to the test!

When it comes to assessment, there is more than just paper and pencil tests. I have found some great resources to use for assessing learning.

Write About It!
I found this page at http://www.kidzone.ws/. Print it out and have your students write about what they learned about Texas.








Pop Quiz!
This is an online quiz from Texas Senate Kids. There are 16 questions about Texas symbols. Click on your answer choice, then press Turn it in at the bottom and it immediately grades it for you and shows you which ones you got right and wrong.

Make a Texas Book!

Here is a symbols sheet from http://www.learningtreasures.com/. Print it out in color, and have your students make a book by cutting out each symbol, gluing it on the page and writing facts about the symbol, like name, when it was recognized, and any interesting facts about it.







Organize It!

This is a great graphic organizer to use while jotting down facts about Texas. It found it at http://www.enchantedlearning.com/. Put Texas in the middle, then on the outside bubbles write the state bird, flower, abbreviation, neighboring states, nickname, motto, etc. You have to be a member to print their worksheets, but you could create your own very easily using Microsoft Word or even on the computer using a program like Kidspiration.
