We expect them to properly restate, pull 2 pieces of evidence from the text and explain each quote in detail in the RACE+C model. These students are good at identifying the quotes and backing up their answers with support and details verbally. But when it comes to physically writing it all out, information gets lost. That’s why they will be given this rubric format but they will not have the sentence starters for C+E part of the model. We want to just remind them of the parts that needed in those sections. If they are struggling then they will be given the rubric with all the sentence starters]]> 2017-11-27 15:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smm0811/bjlppswn22l9/wish/210442116 IEP Yellow Student Work smm0811 https://padlet.com/smm0811/bjlppswn22l9/wish/210442314 It is expected that IEP students in the yellow group are to use the theme given to them. We expect them to properly pull 2 pieces of textual evidence correctly and to explain at least 1 quote they chose in detail. These students can usually identify one piece of evidence and explain it. But they struggle to find another solid piece of evidence and usually they can’t explain why they chose it very well so they will completely ignore finding the second piece of evidence. To assist them they will be given this rubric with no modifications. We want them to see that they need to find that second piece of textual information so they will attempt it instead of skipping over it. ]]> 2017-11-27 15:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/smm0811/bjlppswn22l9/wish/210442314 IEP Red Student Work smm0811 https://padlet.com/smm0811/bjlppswn22l9/wish/210442825 It is expected that IEP students in the red group are to use the theme given to them. We expect them to properly restate, and pull 2 pieces of text evidence correctly. We are expecting them to try and explain their quotes but are looking for more effort. These students struggle to even know where to start when they go to write and struggle to find the information in the text. They will be given this rubric to help them start each sentence when writing. They will also be told to find 1 quote they want to use in their writing and then they will get in a small group and share the quotes they are using. This will help them find their second quote easier and more effectively.
