I shadowed Mr. Rios' classroom, which was Grammar Group A1. They had a midterm exam today, so I asked to have a copy of the exam so I could see what they had been working on. The testing format was a mixture of direct (asking students to describe their weekend using simple past) and indirect testing (fill in the blank with pronouns, contractions, verbs). Mr. Rios outlined the rules of test taking in the very beginning, which was helpful, because he let them know he is able to answer questions during the exam as long as they raise their hands.
The test covered simple present vs. continuous verb tenses, contractions (change "they'll" into "they will", count vs. non-count words, and two short answer questions. I liked that he mixed the two so he can gauge the progress not only of the students' knowledge, but of the "knowledge in use" skills to describe a picture with adjectives, or describing their weekend with simple past.
