I have chosen to use a pretest as my diagnostic assessment. I believe that by giving the students the pretest, they can tell what they know before actually learning the lesson. This also gives the students a chance to actually think while taking the test. As the students learn about literature and different books throughout the school year, they will be given a post test to see what they have learned throughout the school year and if any improvements have been made.

What I would like for my students to learn from this topic is:

• The main characters
• The Main idea of the story
• The setting of a story
• What happens in a story and why
• New literary vocabulary words

For scoring this assessment, I plan to use the Holistic Rubric. As students learn and improve throughout the semester, grading will change, whether they have improved or not.
