//"Integrate assessment consistently into instruction by://
 * //Establishing criteria and developing strategies for assessment that allow all students to understand what they know and can do in light of their instructional experiences;//
 * //Interpreting the individual and group results of any assessments and drawing upon a variety of information in these assessments to inform instruction;//
 * //Assisting all students in becoming monitors of their own work and growth in speaking, listening, writing, reading, enacting, and viewing;//
 * //Explaining to students, parents, and others concerned with education how students are assessed."//

For the purposes of this standard, I have included the final project that I used for the //Julius Caesar// unit. This provided a form of differentiated assessment to my students, as they were able to choose one of three essay topics and one of five creative project options. The multitude of options gave students the ability to demonstrate their knowledge in the way they felt most comfortable and confident. Also, I included with the assignment one of many rubrics that I used to evaluate students' work. I gave the rubric with the project description so the students (and parents) knew exactly how they would be assessed on their essays and creative projects.
