When a student hear the word assessment "test", some students start to freak out. I know for myself when I hear assessments I tend to get a little stressed. An assessment can be done formally or informally in the classroom and teachers can make it simple or very complex. Assessment is to see where your students are at in the content that you are going over in class and if you need to revisit some part of your content.
Say one of your lessons is on measurements for cooking and you bring in cups, teaspoons, and etc. You could have the students make a cake and assess if they followed the measurements and if the cake rosed or not and how it taste. Another assessment could be a journal for the students to write what they got out of the lesson that was represented to them in class for that day. Assessments can be just as easy as walking around the room to see if the students are understanding what is going on. Play games with the students and assess that way.
