The Assessment tool: In order to understand where my students stand with their knowledge of literary elements and techniques I choose to give them a pre- assessment with a Kahoot quiz. The students would answer questions about the parts of literary elements and different types of literary techniques. In this case each question was given 10 seconds to read the question (I would read the question and answer choices out loud) and 45 seconds to answer the question. This helped me figure out how to further discuss the future lessons around the 5 literary elements; the students will focus more on plot, point of view, theme, onomatopoeia, alliteration, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and personification.

The assessment tool: As a formal assessment, the students were to create a short story with the criteria of including the 5 literary elements: plot, character, conflict, theme, and setting. The students will be given examples of short stories the whole week to practice and see visual examples.

The quiz also contained multiple-choice, matching, fill in the blank, and 1 essay.
Implications of Results: The students did quite well on this test. W received a 42/50, M received a 36/50, and J received a 45/50. The students were able to complete all the questions. Due to the low score of M, he was not feeling well, I really feel that if he was feeling a little better he would have done better. Over all the students were able to show me that they understood literary techniques and
