This means students need to read to understand as well as use ideas to craft argument, which seems like a variety of important skills.]]> 2021-12-15 02:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1948457520 mkaimana https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1948460146 I think that option 2, the synthesis task would be the best option for my students because it is what we focused on in Unit 2, so it will feel more familiar to students, it will also feel most connected to their future because about half my students are taking the AP Language and Composition test in May. I think it would give very valuable data for what I can focus on before the test.]]> 2021-12-15 02:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1948460146 mkaimana https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1948462473 I noticed that the option 2 for 12th-grade is a much older released task, is it possible to find a more recent one? In 2019, the test was revised and the language of the question has changed a little (maybe that doesn't matter?). Just an idea.]]> 2021-12-15 02:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1948462473 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950454387 need to review test-taking strategies (annotate question before, etc) ]]> 2021-12-15 21:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950454387 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950455521 1. Why do we take these again? (I'd like to give to give students a strong rationale) I also feel like it deviates from our ethnic studies framework goal of curriculum and PT we create ]]> 2021-12-15 21:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950455521 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595256 The content is something they might already have familiarity with if they studied Mesoamerican societies in 7th grade. The cognitive demands require that they be able to take notes on 5-6 pages of text and organize those notes into an essay.]]> 2021-12-15 23:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595256 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595808 I agree with Maria but both options seem doable.]]> 2021-12-15 23:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595808 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595882 2021-12-15 23:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595882 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595975 I don't understand exactly what this question is asking.]]> 2021-12-15 23:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950595975 samantha21 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950596121 Students need to read multiple sources on the same topic and make decisions as readers and writers how to use the resources provided to make an informed decision for themeselves]]> 2021-12-15 23:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950596121 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950596296 Content is aligned with common core standards that we have been focusing on in our lessons.

The material is something they have seen and studied about last year]]> 2021-12-15 23:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950597259 jhoward87 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950597280 Content seems engaging and interesting!

I think that might help guide us with the "why."]]> 2021-12-15 23:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950597293 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950597974 I noticed that it is a complex task that requires engaging in multiple steps. First they have to read the selections, then they have to analyze the selections and compare the selections to one another. It is similar to activities we have done in class where we compare multiple texts, but it has a social studies flair to it. I'm not sure about the 7th grade task, haven't had a chance to look at it yet.]]> 2021-12-15 23:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950597974 jhoward87 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598302 I would be interested just to see how they would do with the more advanced assessment? Perhaps just to expose them to this type of material?]]> 2021-12-15 23:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598302 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598319 Nothing students haven't seen before.

We have covered RACES and I've had students practice citing evidence multiple times to support their answers to questions, so I believe they'll be prepared in that aspect.]]> 2021-12-15 23:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598435 ashearer8 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598960 I see that it requires students to synthesize different texts.

This assessment evaluates reading, comprehension, and the ability to make comparisons.

The comparing and contrasting activity in the beginning helps students to prep for their explanatory essay later in the assessment.]]> 2021-12-15 23:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950598978 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950599169 I like how we are offering multiple readings where they can choose two to compare and contrast. This activity seems relevant for students that may have already fund of knowledge about this area of the world, and it is connected to our standards.]]> 2021-12-15 23:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950599169 nlee107 https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950599212 The task seems relatable to students but also something where they are able to apply their critical thinking skills to come to their conclusions.]]> 2021-12-15 23:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950599212 agermann https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950653156 I think the data from these assessments will be interesting to see where students are at and create goals for student improvements. As an art teacher I have done some work in PLC around literacy skills in the past, and it has been a great way to align across art disciplines with literacy strategies that apply to our content and help with ELA student outcomes!]]> 2021-12-16 00:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jgerosa1/3hrk6obbba8hib1n/wish/1950653156
