For class participation, each class you can give a student a class list and every time a student gives an answer, asks a question or contributes to the class, they are given a check beside their name and then they are calculated at the end of the term. You can give the students an assessment rubric for class participation.
Most lessons begin with a vocabulary activity or pre-lesson discussion, followed by a content study through reading and discussion questions that attempts to draw out the necessary information, and then a reading activity that is great towards a specific reading strategy. (i.e. Cause and Effect, cloze activity, comprehension questions, fact and opinion, etc) In addition, some units have an extension activity that can be done with the students and assessed if you choose.
