Formative vs Summative Appraisals

What is the difference between Formative and Summative appraisals?     Easy!  A formative grade shows the practice that you get in a certain skill.  It shows evidence that you are “forming” your language skill.  A summative grade is the summary of what you have learned.  It is in the summative grade that you are showing me what you have learned in the unit/lesson.
