Use of Data: What data will be collected as a result of this activity. How will it be
used and by whom? (For example: Will information collected from this activity be
used to award a grade? Will the individual information collected be shared with
students and/or parents to help them monitor individual progress? Will you
discuss the aggregate, anonymous data with the whole class to help them learn?
Will you use data to differentiate instruction for students? If so, describe how. )

The students will be using this Quizlet as a review tool. There are many ways
there are able to study on Quizlet, there is the simple flashcards, practice test,
speller and matching. I may print out a practice test from Quizlet and pass it out
to my students as a practice test. After the students finish the practice test, and I
grade them I would like to see how my students are comprehending the lesson on
compound words. If my students are not comprehending it well, I will use this
information and review the lesson again using a different strategy so when the
test does come at the end of the week, my students can feel confident and
succeed.
Describe what will occur after the SRS activity:
Students will take a short test on compound words as an assessment. The test will
be comprised of multichoice and fill in the blank.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. (For example: What
are you trying that you have not tried before? What do you hope to learn from
this activity? How do you hope it will help students learn? You must design
2

something that will help you learn something new! Honor System!)
My goal for this activity is trying to see if interactive flashcards would be an
engaging way for students to learn their compound words. This is a new activity
for me to try and I hope my students are excited to try this new activity. I hope
that my students are able to understand compound words and the idea that
compound words as two words put together. Having the capability on Quizlet for
not only having interactive flashcards but different elements of learning can have
students become more interested in learning and hopefully eager to learn.
However, I do not want to become too dependent on Quizlet as a learning tool.
