English Language Arts Self-Monitoring and Assessment

This is my lesson plan. I need an assessment to go with it. Could you please help me with the assessment on this lesson plan? I have messed around and waited until the last second. I have two more lesson plans I am working on and they are due today. This would help me a lot. I was messing around with using this for the assessment. Assessment: Monitor students to determine if they can: consistently and successfully self-monitor their understanding of text as they read and complete the questions. I know I would need more for the assessment. Not sure about giving homework. If I am confusing you please ask. Please do not copy and paste. I just need help on making my assessment for this lesson plan. Thank you.
