Correct Response: C. Asking students to self-assess their content-area learning helps them take ownership of what and how they learn. Having students record questions they still have about lesson material and describe learning strategies they used during the day's lessons are self-assessment strategies that encourage reflection and self-monitoring, and thus promote students' ability to evaluate their own areas of strength and need with respect to the content and skills associated with a given lesson. A and B are incorrect because these strategies do not promote students' awareness or self- assessment of their learning with respect to a lesson's content-area objectives but rather focus on developing or reinforcing students' vocabulary development (A) and grammatical competence (B). D is incorrect because transferring the new concepts and words to index cards to be used in studying for class tests is a test-preparation strategy. It does not promote students' self-assessment of their content- area learning because it does not encourage them to further reflect on their learning but rather to simply recall it.
