Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning process and provides teachers with useful information about the pupils' achievements. Therefore, I am going to assess the children during the learning process, through an initial assessment (lesson 1) and continuous assessment (lessons 3, 7 and 11). I will use the following assessment sheet in order to record how pupils are doing in this unit. So, it can be a valuable resource for assessing and recording the needs and attainment levels of the pupils and the class. Information from this sheet can be used to report to parents. (This information should be used at the discretion of the teacher). The criteria for assessment according to the aims of this unit are: 1- Be in a participative Attitude. Children should be involved in the different games, showing an active attitude, doing things in their own initiative and keeping it going most of the time. 2- Make comparisons between games. This means making comparisons between the traditional Scottish games' characteristics and their own Catalan traditional ones and noting similarities and differences. Children should take advantage of the calm down time, when they have the change to speak about the games they have done in the lesson, for doing these comparisons about the names of the games, the rules and any other aspect that they would like to mention. 3- Make decisions in the game's situations. Sometimes when we are playing we have to make some decisions in order to win the game, to help our partners or to free them, to look for the way to chase or catch the runners, to think of some strategies to solve situations, etc. Teacher will observe if these decisions taken by the children suit the situation and help to solve it. 4- Assume a co-operative or opposition role. Depending on the game's situation children should know if they have to collaborate with their partners in order to get an aim or avoid the other team get it or if they have to face up to the opposite team in order to avoid them to get the aim. 5- Comply the rules of the games This means understand the rules of the games and respect them. They have to be honest, for example in an eliminatory game if some children is touched, they have to go out immediately and not to wait until the teacher say to them they are out. |

Pupil Assessment: This is a record of individual achievement in the 4 lessons used for assessment in this unit. The teacher needs to have a Pupil Assessment sheet for each pupil. It allows the teacher to know how each pupil is doing in the different aspects described above in each of the lessons chosen for assessment.
