https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting Think about the writing we've been grading. What are two things students are doing well or have improved on from last year? What is one thing you wish they were doing better? en-us 2016-10-17 19:24:22 UTC 2026-02-26 18:32:00 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/File.png https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131774696 They are using evidence or rational points to support their arguments better this year.

They have better transitions thought out the essay 

Wish- go more indepth  with their thoughts, many still just addresss srpurface levels of arguments/counter arguments ]]> 2016-10-19 13:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131774696 tpeters6 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775538 Star:  They are better at providing evidence. 
Wish: That they could communicate their ideas better. ]]> 2016-10-19 13:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775538 dthomas27 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775540 They are making a clearer claim than last year.

They are able to make a counterclaim that goes against the claim.

I wish their grammar was better because it takes away from what they are saying.]]> 2016-10-19 13:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775540 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775581 Still a little surface level with thinking and arguments.]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775581 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775608 Wish: Use more evidence to back up their reasoning and maintain focus throughout their writing]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775608 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775645 Stronger voice (more pleasant to read)
Seem to understand the components of argument papers better.
Wish they'd do better with some grammar/spelling basics.]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775645 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775707 Stars: Students are stronger is organization and stating claims more clearly

I wish they would work harder at their language and sentence/paragraph structure.]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775727 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775736 They are making claims.
Their organization is improving.
I wish they would be able to go deeper with their thinking]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775736 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775789 Star:  Students are making clear paragraphs.
Star: Students are beginning to provide evidence to support claims.
Wish: Students should cite sources to avoid plagiarism. ]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775789 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775872 Thesis statement present...for the most part
Organization attempted
Grammar and sentence structure need help]]> 2016-10-19 13:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131775872 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131776098 Organization seems better
Making a claim seems a bit better
I wish we could take a step back and work more on grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. A lot of kids are so bad at that, it's difficult to even get to the point where the reader can understand the message.]]> 2016-10-19 13:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131776098 https://padlet.com/jcomstock/hswriting/wish/131776218 Grammar is not.
