Assessing Prior Knowledge

As Placement B creeps around the corner, I'm starting to think about how I can pick up in classes where the usual class teachers have (bravely) left off. In the case of a Spanish group I will be taking, I will be teaching aspects of grammar and will therefore need to know where to start from; there's no point preaching about the preterite if the students are already confident with it!

A bit of searching on the Interwebs led me to this excellent poster-image-type-thing that presents a number of easy-to-implement activities that can successfully gauge students prior learning. I'll certainly be using this, for the above class and beyond. I hope that you might also find it useful =]
