We spend a lot of time teaching how to break down the prompt using different strategies (do/what). We focus on organization and the elements of a "good" essay - creating a claim, topic sentences, citing evidence, etc. Using the My Editor tool has been helpful for revision as students can see specific feedback for their own writing. My Tutor has been helpful when making specific revisions for organization or development. We provide verbal feedback and the students enjoy seeing their scores go up with revisions - they are very competitive against themselves! It's tangible and IMMEDIATE.]]> 2019-03-15 12:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341718361 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341718406 2019-03-15 12:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341718406 kcarroll34 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341718420 I have written my own prompts to use with my students

The final essay should address the question and have structure of introduction, body, and of course a conclusion.  We have been focusing on body paragraph development with relevant text evidence organized with appropriate internal body paragraph organization. Students are prepared for the writing prompt with graphic organizers and handouts of writing samples to model paragraph development]]> 2019-03-15 12:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341719594 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341719642 As a 6th grade team we  use My Access for our processed writing pieces because the editing tools are so helpful. ]]> 2019-03-15 12:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341719642 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341720324 BMS - Nicole, Kendal, Sarah - Although not all of us use the comments, as a team we have discussed that many of the students like to receive comments through MY Access! while they are working on a writing piece. Sometimes there is an option to highlight text and add a comment and other times you can only leave general comments. Often the students say that they cannot see the comments, even after they have been left several times.

We have used the editor tool and feedback reports. The students like the immediate feedback, which is helpful since we are unable to have individual conferences with every student at one time. The students like the individual feedback on their writing. They also like it when we allow for multiple revisions because they like to see how their writing grows and advances, which is a valuable teaching tool for revision]]> 2019-03-15 14:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341759187 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341759250 We have mostly put our own prompts into My Access. We have each tried one of the prompts already available in My Access, and we were able to use the sample essays to help students increase their scores by seeing what a 5 or a 6 response looks like/includes. We like My Access because we have found that students are motivated by the program and are competitive with each other. ]]> 2019-03-15 14:01:13 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341759250 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341760475 We have used both our own prompts and prompts already in MyAccess! We've focused mostly on informative or argumentative pieces. Because some of our students are challenging to work with, it's difficult to get much out of them  and into the program. At Choices, it tends to lead more into a discussion about the prompts rather than what they meant to put in the program. At WMS, I get a wide variety of response back from the students. Some will use MY Tutor to constantly fix their pieces and receive a higher score, while some may be satisfied with only having written five sentences.]]> 2019-03-15 14:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341760475 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341760671 2019-03-15 14:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341760671 https://padlet.com/madeline_pan/wicomico/wish/341761446 Used custom class prompts.
