No Vocab This Week
Mon 03/17/14
Students reviewed their learning goal and scale for the semester. Students had to break apart the targets and put them in their own words. Students examined a "collaborative" essay sample of mini 7, written by their classmates. Students examined the pieces of the essay and how they aligned with the targets from their scale. Finally, students received back their graded essay and completed a tree map citing evidence from their essay for each achieved target.
