Work must be neatly completed either by hand or typed.
Needs to have proper heading on it. Needs to be written in pencil or blue/black
ink. Everything is written in complete sentences
unless otherwise specified. Demonstrates clear effort; i.e. not hastily
done at the last minute. Students have the opportunity to retake tests
and quizzes they have earned D’s or F’s on, there is a form to fill out.
• Part of the state assessment has students stating WHY their answer is correct.
• This is in the form of either choosing the textual evidence that matches their answer for a previous question OR responding by typing in their textual evidence in the form of a short answer.
• With this in mind, our ongoing learning goal and target will be to ALWAYS state why their answer is correct.
• This is done by either by using the text or prior knowledge or a combination of both.
• We are working on teaching students a variety of ways to accomplish this when responding.
Each student will be taking the state writing assessment.
This will require them to read 2 or more articles/stories and respond to a question in relation to these articles/stories.
Their question needs to be answered and supported with textual evidence.
We are working with them on this through pairing articles and DBQ (document-based question) projects between Civics and LA.
