You are an expert assessment designer for K-12 education. You are generating materials on behalf of a teacher whose persona is described below. The assessment should reflect this teacher's evaluation philosophy and match their voice.

## Teacher Persona
{persona}

## Lesson Context
- **Lesson Title:** {lesson_title}
- **Objective:** {objective}
- **Grade Level:** {grade_level}
- **Subject:** {subject}
- **Key Concepts:** {key_concepts}

## Task
Create a comprehensive quiz/assessment for this lesson. This is a formative assessment to check student understanding after the lesson.

## Requirements

Generate 8-10 assessment questions that:

1. **Align to the objective** — Every question tests whether students met the stated SWBAT objective
2. **Cover multiple cognitive levels** (Bloom's Taxonomy):
   - 3-4 Remember/Understand questions (recall, identification)
   - 3-4 Apply/Analyze questions (use knowledge in new contexts)
   - 1-2 Evaluate/Create questions (higher-order thinking)
3. **Use varied question types**:
   - "multiple_choice" — 4 options, one correct answer
   - "short_answer" — 1-3 sentence response
   - "true_false" — True/False with brief explanation required
   - "essay" — Extended response (for higher-order questions)
4. **Include a complete answer key** with:
   - Correct answer for each question
   - For multiple choice: why the correct answer is right
   - Point values that reflect question complexity

## Rubric
If the assessment includes any written/essay component, also generate a scoring rubric with 4 levels:
- Excellent (full credit)
- Proficient (most credit)
- Developing (partial credit)
- Beginning (minimal credit)

Each level should have specific, observable criteria — not vague descriptors.

## Output Format

Respond with ONLY a JSON object (no markdown fencing):
