* Questions are succint
*Readers have to know to use BOTH articles when answering questions - not just Source 1 for question 1, etc.
*Need to define Source #1/Article #1...
*Teach students what * means after a word; features of informative texts
*Stamina needed!
* Need to know how to take notes; determine importance

Wondered:
*Question #2 confusing as it does not mention types of beetles; reader has to remember to use source #1]]> 2022-07-25 16:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249391221 Wonder? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249391874 How reflective is this Perf Task if they can't get past the reading?

Students need to have enough exposure to informational text. They have to be able to write a focused paragraph. They need to address all parts of the question and give at least two details and these details need to be evidence cited (from each source). Students need to understand the elements of opinion writing. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249392069 We wonder how to get the students prepared to these tasks. Some students might not be able to read at this level.

Wonder- Will we get strategy to do this? Can they be given a graphic organizer to help? Can we have blank thinking mats/organizers on the walls (they are blank)? For non-readers, this is challenging. ]]> 2022-07-25 17:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249392106 Grade 6 Breakout https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249392515 -It was very difficult for students due to the stamina of writing.
-The students didn't know a letter format.  Many students were stuck to just writing the assessment because they were thinking about how to write a letter "Dear."
-Having smaller writing assignments in the future (editorial, letter, essay) so that they learn different formats
-We noticed that students that were gifted or reading at grade level did not complete the assignment because they were overthinking the articles and topics
-The students had a difficult time picking a side, they kept going back and forth and confusing themselves.
-We might need to communicate that they need to pick a side and it won't influence their grade if they choose pro or con.
-Counter claims don't come up until 7th grade, but in 6th grade they are struggling with choosing a side. We also don't know much about what students are writing in the previous grades and may need to look at that to get some better direction about their skills gaps.
-One colleague gave students T-Charts for when they had to make a decision in persuasive writing. Once the students had the descriptive details, they could explain why they chose the sources, they could not elaborate on the sources.

2. Breaking it into smaller chunks would be helpful.
3. Important to practice prior to the summative tasks so they are comfortable with it when they take it.
4. Often a video is one of the sources and really helps students who are at a lower level.
5. With the interim assessments students could get the practice needed to perform well on the end of the year summative assessment.
6. How do we integrate all of this throughout the year? Are the three ICAs set up with a different performance task for each grade level?
7. Is letter format required since that was the task, or will be it judged simply by if they provide a claim, sources, and explanation in an argument format?]]> 2022-07-25 17:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249392534 Grade 3 Performance Task Thoughts https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249392598 We noticed:
Text is very wordy, so struggling readers would have a hard time.
Teach kids to look at the questions first, then go back to the text.
Complex sentence structures
Including evidence to support response
Citing, paraphrasing
Use quotation marks 

We wondered:
Do students have a hard time citing the correct evidence?

     * Several articles but with slightly different information and perspectives
    * Evidence seemed more anecdotal and less scientific evidence
 * Evidence source wasn't given within the articles
   *Evidence seemed skewed towards one position
 * Articles about adults, not students
  *Opinions in articles but not backed with concrete evidence

Wonder
  * Task is big but articles don't give enough material for students to work with.

For third graders, the general instructions on the test are overwhelming. 

This aligned to the 4th grade performance task.

Looking at directions, are students using these skills regularly? Do students understand what is being asked of them?

The text is lengthy for third graders. 
Are students able to navigate the platform (technology) and complete the task within the structure provided? 

How accurate is this in evaluating student skills vs. navigating the platform? This is the first year for third grade students.

*some felt it was not really indicative of typical 6th grade writing
* not very realistic? All the ones we looked at had a 2 on conventions
*we have students in high school who can't write at that level - does the State realize the gaps that many students are experiencing?
*the first example we looked at didn't seem to have a solid claim that was developed throughout? How did it score a 4 in that?

Be sure to teach kids the characteristics of each genre of writing.
Emphasize the basic techniques that students are required to include in their writing.
Saw the difference between 3 and 2 esp with organizational parts.
Convention scoring was very clear to see.

Use graphic organizers and technology (Google Doc/Slides) to have students type their essays/responses, as prep.

Giving students opportunities for multiple exposure to IABs and Practice and Trainings tests is important.

The interim I would assign in the Administrator Interface is listed as Performance Task - Maps and Technology (IAB) 

BUT… in the Interim Assessment Viewing System (not Administrator Interface) it says the following is the prompt:

Compare Ancient Societies Explanatory Performance Task

In grades 6 and 7, both prompts in the Administrative Interface and the Viewing system are the same so you can have students write, and then project the prompt and dissect, discuss, etc, but they do not appear to be the same in grade 8.  

Thanks!

Are the questions the same for each of the three times they take it? Same for the IAB's? It will be the same questions but with IAB's it is unlimited?

The student has written a solid argument, but she actually makes very little use of the sources. For these types of arguments, isn't there an expectation that students use the sources, at least to receive the highest possible scores? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249418471 2022-07-25 18:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249418471 SMART resource https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249420284 Will more student sample papers be added to this resource?

C-8 received a 4 for Elaboration/Evidence. However, the essay only said "Section 2" once. In addition, the student used facts from the articles in his/her essay, w/o citing which sources these facts came from. So how is the Evidence/Elaboration scored if the words "Source #1" or a specific source isn't actually cited, but yet there are facts from the sources?]]> 2022-07-25 18:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249424095 Grade 3 - Scoring Discussion https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249424791 We found that the our scores compared to the master scores.

These examples are typical to what we see in the classroom for third grade.
 
Question - how do we get students to improve throughout the year and perform at a high level on the rubric at the end of the year, on the summative assessment?

Comparing curriculum to the IABs, the IAB questions are more rigorous.

What can K-2 teachers do to prepare for this work early on?

Seemed to be middle-school appropriate. Solid writing but not exemplary. Observations: they don't seem to be looking for quotes specifically, or extensive elaboration. Effort seems to be important. 

C-4: How we scored it: 2-2-2, 1-1-2 (maybe 2-2-2?), 1-1-1. Observation - for an on-demand piece of writing, we can see how it would get a 2 in the categories, although we would probably give it 1's in our own classrooms. They seem to reward effort and intention -- the attempt to achieve the objective. 

C-9: How we scored it: 3-3-1 (but wanted to give it 2's), 2-2-1, (emotional appeal may dominate), information seemed incorrectly used or misinterpreted. elaboration seemed to be anecdotal, personal, but seems to count on the rubric?

Anchor papers are really important so we can see what the expectations are for a specific grade level. 
Citations? How much does that factor? What counts as citation? What is considered elaboration -- a lot of this seems to be summary, not student analysis or interpretation. 

The on-demand nature of this task is probably why they seem to be scored a little more leniently than we might assess things in our classrooms. ]]> 2022-07-25 18:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249424858 Higher Master scores https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249425447 In my area I am use to giving students more help and time.]]> 2022-07-25 18:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249425447 atogia3 https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249427617 Are the brief writes, short answers, and full writes on the SBAC still corrected by a person or are they correct by I.A.? ]]> 2022-07-25 18:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249427617 Where do we find the claims and targets document? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249430700 2022-07-25 18:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249430700 Teaching https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249431076 Reading comprehension in a smarter balance format, teach the pattern of writing continuously, ]]> 2022-07-25 18:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA072522/wish/2249431076
