What would I like my reality to be?
Currently, with the direction that my class is going it seems like a mixed result because on one aspect the students are learning and seeming to enjoy how I deliver instruction to them using the ‘Risk’ game board concept for dynamic learning, but on the other hand as I mentioned before I do not believe it seems that when I issue the students their summative assessment (which again is usually the chapter review questions from the textbook), that the students are able to still continue in having a more enjoyable time in demonstrating to me what they are learning.
In reflecting upon this and in regards to my chosen CSTP and current level of JOY in teaching and learning, I would like my reality to be a smooth class transition from direct instruction (including formative assessment) to summative assessment where the students can demonstrate to me that they understand what they are learning.

I honestly, believe that their will be a prevailing trend in which students will score better for summative assessments if they are able to demonstrate to me what they have learned in the manner that is more comfortable and enjoyable for them which I think crossword puzzles would be one example as people of all ages I believe like a challenge for critical which can be somewhat visual and involves strategy of induction and deduction in the form of a graphical organizer such as a crossword
