Formative Assessment

I'm doing this project about formative asssessment at uni. The idea is to create a sort of information booklet for the teachers at my teacher training school, the booklet will contain information and ideas of how to work with formative assessment.
So, my job is to create this booklet. I am also observing my tutor's seventh grade history classes every week, he's teaching the lessons but I get to try some formative assessment techniques and exercises so it's really good! While I'm doing this, I'm meant to be writing an article about the project for uni. I'm pretty excited about this project, it's so interesting! I'm going to start writing the booklet and the article during the weekend and I'm actually looking forward to it in some weird way?!

The lessons I'm observing are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 to 11 or 12. Now, this is pretty much all I have scheduled for the next month or so (plus a few random seminars at uni). I have loads of writing to do though as I have an additional course that should start soon too. This all means that I have to be really diciplined!

Trip booked!

Andy and I booked a trip to Greece yesterday! I can't tell you how much I need a sunny holiday right now!! We're leaving mid-June for a week. The plan is to lie in the sun, read loads of books, eat loads of all inclusive food and drink loads of all inclusive drinks! I cannot wait!

Another sunny day in Stockholm!

Spring!!

The weather was amazing yesterday! It's really starting to feel like spring in Stockholm. I went to my mum's for a few hours and then for a walk after. It's really nice to go out walking around where she lives.

Sunhine

A sure sign of spring

More flowers

And the best part: the ground is dry!! Hopefully they'll get rid of the gravel soon too...

Walpurgis night

Walpurgis is one if those holidays that I haven't celebrated since I was about 16. For two years in a row now we've been at Frida and Zakarias' and had loads of wine on their balcony. Well, last year we sat on their balcony the whole afternoon/night, yesterday we were there for about 5 minutes because the weather was crap. It was a good night in spite of bad weather!

Never a good idea
