The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Writing for Assessment:
Overview In this experience, students learn and practice strategies for responding to writing tasks during assessment. First they preview and read a fable. Then they learn PAST strategy to analyze a writing prompt about the fable, and they are directed through a shortened writing process to compose an assessment essay. Then they repeat the process independently for a writing prompt based on a comparison of two fables. At the end of the experience, students will self-evaluate their work based on a rubric. You may review the rubric with them at any point during this experience. Objectives Duration Two class periods. Vocabulary Words Used in “How the Wicked Sons were Duped”
Does it ever seem to you that school is just about tests? Throughout the school year, you are often asked to take reading and writing assessments, or tests, to show what you know. In this experience you will learn and practice strategies that you can use to respond to a writing task on a test. You will analyze a writing prompt to figure out what the question is asking you. Using a shortened version of the writing process, you will then plan and write a response for the writing task, knowing that there is a time limit.
