Each set of assessment activities reflects the expected skill development at each stage of the program. As students develop proficiency in the language, the corresponding unit tests include appropriate assessment of increasingly higher level thinking and language skills, while at the same time supporting students through scaffolding for success. The tests reflect the style of language-manipulation activities with which students are familiar in the AIM kits. As a result, we are testing exclusively the students' ability to apply the language skills that they are developing, rather than their ability figure out how to do the activities.
Each assessment book contains three units, one for each of the three higher levels (four, five and six) in the Histoires en action ! series. In each unit, you will find a variety of activities to assess students' knowledge of vocabulary, spelling and grammar concepts that correspond directly to what was taught in each of the kits.
