A avaliação deverá ser processual, ou seja, durante todo o processo de introdução e desenvolvimento do conteúdo apresentado. Para isso, o professor deverá observar o envolvimento, disposição e motivação do aluno com as atividades sugeridas em sala, bem como aquelas direcionadas para casa (como, no caso da aula, a Atividade 5).

Uma outra forma de avaliação, o professor deverá separar os alunos em duplas para que realizem a seguinte tarefa:

Ask you partner the following questions making sure to take good notes. 

·         What is your favorite sport and how long have you been playing/doing it?

·         What are your plans for your next vacation?

·         How long have you known your best friend? Can you give me a description of him/her?

·         What kind of music do you like? Have you always listened to that kind of music?

·         What did you use to do when you were younger that you don't do anymore?

·         Do you have any predictions about the future?

·         Can you tell me what you do on a typical Saturday afternoon?

·         What were you doing yesterday at this time?

      ·         Which two promises will you make concerning learning English? 

Depois de terminadas as perguntas, cada aluno deverá reportar para a sala o que o seu par relatou, fazendo uso do reported speech (por exemplo, João said he had lived in São Paulo for two years). Se o professor achar conveniente, poderá pedir para que escrevam no quadro a fim de facilitar a visualização das sentenças no reported speech. Verifique se todos os alunos reportaram as informações do seu par.
