7th Grade Project
Summative Assessment
For this project you and your group members will be expected to reteach concepts
learned this year. Your lesson must include a do now/pre-activity, direct teaching, class activity,
independent practice, homework, and benchmark assessment. You will be given Tuesday, May
7th and Thursday, May 9th to plan with your group and you will be given two class periods to
teach your lesson and assess your peers. Use the checklist below as a guide to plan your lesson.
Stick to the due dates to make sure your project is completed on time. Refer to the rubric on the
following page for further information.

Your lesson must include:
 Teaching objective and standards being met
 Do Now and/or pre-activity (What do the students already know about this concept? How
can students learn or explore the concept on their own?)
 Direct Teaching – Teach the objective of the lesson. Provide notes and examples for
students to copy. Ask questions to the class.
 Class activity – The class will practice the concept in groups or on their own. This is the
time where the class can play a short game or create an alternate assignment.
 Review and independent practice– Bring the class back together. Discuss the class
activity and review the concept that was taught. Have students practice the concept
independently.
 Homework – This should be given at the end of the first day of teaching. Assign
homework from the textbook, or print a worksheet from the internet. The homework must
allow students to practice the concept you taught in class. Review the homework the next
class period.
 Benchmark Assessment – Create a quiz to assess what the class learned from your lesson.
Assign point values for each question. This will count as a benchmark assessment for the
students taking the quiz.

Lesson Plan Template: (Example: Functions Lesson)
Objective: SWBAT identify a function on a graph using the vertical line test. SWBAT identify
real-world function relationships. SWBAT identify a function using a function table.
NJCCCS: 4.3.7 B.1
CCSS: 7.RP.2.a, 7.RP.2.b, 7.RP.2.c, 7.RP.2.d
Materials: pictures of car keys, guided notes, graphs and tables for activity, homework
worksheet
Do Now/Pre-Activity:
1. Ask students to take a few minutes to write down what they think of when they hear the
word function. What does it mean? What others vocabulary words can they think of?
2. Relate functions to real life scenario - Explain that today we have 6 lucky winners of a
lottery – pass out “keys” of cars to 4 people – have students come to the board and write
their name and what they one – Ask students to describe the relationship of the lottery
(everyone winner wins one prize)
3. Provide different scenarios - sharing a car, winning two cars, lost their car – is the
relationship the same?
Direct teaching plan:
1. Discuss and define functions – The function is the lottery – the winners and prizes are
the two parts of our functions – what are the two parts of a function? Domain – winners,
range – prizes
2. Provide data tables and graphs – discuss functions vs. non functions – vertical line test
Class Activity:
1. On each table place a graph or a table. Students will rotate to the different groups to
determine if the graph or table represents a function.
Review and Independent Practice:
1. Discuss answers to group activity.
2. Review the definition of a function, domain, range, vertical line test
3. Display a graph/table. Ask students to write down whether it is a function or not and
explain why. Assess students work as formative assessment.
