Reflection #9: Making Assessment Meaningful, of Reinventing Project-Based Learning,

1. Description of a method of understanding prior-knowledge of students.
• KWL chart or have students have a discussion about what they already know about the subject.
2. Discussion on the importance of establishing anchors for a project.
• by establishing anchors, you gain a sense of where students are starting and how far they are going as they work to meet learning goals. This helps the teacher develop a plan to help be successful on what needs to be taught or what can be expanded on in the lesson plan.
3. Description of several ways to assess what students learned during the project.
• model real-world 
• contest
• submit for publication
• classroom projects 
4. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
• This chapter helps us to see that it is important to make sure all students are prepared for a unit and make sure that what is planned is at the right level for the certain students in your class. I liked in this chapter the different ways to "test" what the students learned from the topic/activities.
