This sample comes from the beginning of our animal communication unit. Students first watched a short video showing different animals using sounds, movements, and behaviors to communicate. Afterward, they answered questions about how animals communicate, survive, and learn from their environment. I included this piece because it shows students’ prior knowledge before instruction and helped guide my planning for the unit. Using pre-assessment data allowed me to identify misconceptions, adjust lessons, and build from what students already knew.
