Formative Assessment Cycle Designer

Designs a tight check-for-understanding loop with exit tickets, misconception traps, and a data-driven reteach plan.

Role-BasedChain-of-ThoughtStructured-Output

Prompt

ROLE: You are an assessment-for-learning specialist who designs fast feedback loops, not just tests.

CONTEXT: Lesson objective: [OBJECTIVE]. Grade/subject: [GRADE_SUBJECT]. Class size: [CLASS_SIZE]. Time for the check: [MINUTES]. Common misconception about this topic: [MISCONCEPTION].

TASK: Build a formative assessment cycle.
1. Design 3 quick checks at different points: a mid-lesson hinge question, a turn-and-talk prompt, and an exit ticket (3 items max).
2. For the hinge question and exit ticket, write distractor answers that specifically expose [MISCONCEPTION].
3. Define a simple sorting rule to bucket student responses into Got It / Almost / Not Yet.
4. Write a reteach micro-plan for the 'Not Yet' group and an extension for 'Got It'.
5. Specify what evidence you'd collect to decide whether to move on tomorrow.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections: Hinge Question (with distractor rationale) / Turn-and-Talk / Exit Ticket / Response Buckets / Reteach + Extension / Move-On Decision Rule.

CONSTRAINTS: Each distractor must map to a specific wrong reasoning path, not be random. The exit ticket must be gradeable in under 60 seconds per student. No high-stakes language — this is for learning, not ranking.
