‘We’re going down to the yard to play
Assess Up, are you in?’ ‘Yeah …’
Asses up is a game played in parks, schoolyards or anywhere kids
can find a large flat wall to throw a spongie ball against.
Each person has to catch the ball. If you drop the ball 1 or more
times, any other player will hit your B side as a punishment.
We are going to check our starting point in English through a
Diagnostic Test I called Assess Up … just to play with words.
Please, follow instructions carefully.
