Mario Method of Assessing/demonstrating Progress

Fun method of assessing and demonstrating progress in a lesson. Can be used in any topic and students enjoy the graphical look of the Mario Brothers theme.

Use the steps and castle slide to show the objectives to be working towards. Have this replicated into hand out worksheets like the Progress Checker document attached. Students then complete this as a starter and can have it to hand to check their progress in the lesson.

When re-capping the starter have the ladder slide on the whiteboard and ask students to add their initials next to the level that they feel they are currently.
Teach the lesson and then ask students to put their initials next to the level they are at now and to complete the sheet from the starter to justify why they are at that level.
This is then a perfect discussion point to check why they are at that level and to peer assess by questioning others in the class.
Outstanding way to demonstrate progress in the lesson or over a short period of time.
