I didn’t do very well on my previous assessments because I didn’t take the time to re-read through the piece, I just read the question(s) and then looked for the answer without even reading through the text to show evidence. What I can do on Friday is read the text, see what the questions are, then re-read through the story, make sure my answer is reasonable, and then annotate the text I just read.

  I can take and show evidence from the book I am reading and then show my parents, see what they think about it, and then do the same thing for the assessment tomorrow. Some strategies I could use is read the text, read the questions, re-read and find an answer to the question(s), and then make sure that my answers are reasonable and reliable. If they aren’t then I will make changes to my answer and see if they are reasonable and reliable enough by using specific quotes if forgotten. 

The tools I am going to use are my very handy bookmark because I wrote everything on there that I thought would help me. I am also going to look at the feedback that I received from Mrs.Reuter to now what I can work on. I am also going to look at my previous tests because I can look at the things that I did well at and thing that I need to work on. I am also going to use the rubric to see what the expectations are.  

 

  I think that I have done my previous text assessments very well. On Friday’s text assessment, I will use my prior knowledge of text assessments to include everything required. I will also read the full story and if there are any parts I miss, or do not understand, I will re-read. To make sure my assessment goes well on Friday, I will make sure to have supportive text evidence for each claim or statement. I will do this by taking solid parts of the text and using them to my advantage.

  There are many tools I can use for practicing and reviewing for the text assessment. I can use previous text assessments to look at their rubrics. I can use my text evidence sheet and bookmark to find ways to communicate text evidence. I can also use the -*Strong Readers CITE evidence from the text to support their thinking*- poster in Mrs. Reuter’s classroom as well.

  There is a vast variety of strategies available for use on the text assessment on Friday. One of my strategies is using direct quotes or words straight from the text. I do that because if someone is reading my assessment, they can look for that exact phrase or quote and know it’s legit. Another strategy I use is to re-read all of my evidence after writing it. I do this to make sure that the evidence is reasonable and comparable to the text. That way it can clearly communicate what I am stating. I will try my best on the text assessment on Friday and hopefully do a good job. Good luck everyone! :)

2. I got a failure/2.5 (to me thats a fail) on Henry’s Freedom Box. I can strengthen my evidence und write more on topic.

3.  Actually read the whole story (Reason that I do that is I write a lot of non-fiction) instead of skimming through the pages. I personally think I will do good, Kind of.
I think I failed at this wait, of course I have...  
Definitely... 

 I belive that supported my ideas well and explained my text evidence well but I need to work on explaining and providing evidence for my answer.

I can use the tools “The text said…, I know this because I read…, The author said…, I read that…, The author stated that…, It was written that...which means…,I learned that...Because the text said…,According to the text…, In the text…,For instance…, An example is…, The illustration shows…

Text evidence is: “Text evidence is evidence from a text (fiction or nonfiction) that you can use to illustrate your ideas and support your arguments. All textual evidence should: support a specific point. This can be done by citing the page number at the end of the sentence. (He shouted, “No more stone soup!”) (p.14)”  

In my previous assessments Weslandia by Paul Fleischman and Henry’s Freedom Box by Ellen Levine and Illustrator Kadir Nelson, I read  and answered questions of two textual evidence pieces, that had many scenes you could independently support your ideas and or claims clearly. On the text evidence assessment is received a 3.5 (Weslandia wasn't graded). I believe that i did exceptional job on the assessment, within the test I independently supported my ideas and claims with specific details from the story. I also discussed how the details and citations supported my ideas, I feel like I reached the grade level expectations by making those steps. On Friday’s assessment I will try to evaluate text evidence for which is strongest. I will also continue to use my understandings and strategies on the next assessment

I can use my “Text Evidence Techniques” bookmark to practice all of the needed steps to make during the assessment. I can also use the rubric to assess myself and clarify I have all of the needed information. Some strategies I will use on the test evidence assessment is cite page numbers at the end of sentences, use phrases (ex. The text said, I know this because I read), give my opinion with a statement, clearly explain my reasoning, simple things like throwing in extra facts, and much more.    

My previous assessment I didn’t do so good. I need to work on looking more in the text for my answers. I need to also work on supporting my evidence. I did well on some of the questions with supporting my evidence. But with some, I need to look closer in the text. 

 On Friday’s test, I will annotate the text and keep looking back in the text. I will also use my resources.

 The tools that I can use is my head the paper, and the anchor charts. Before the test, I will look at my Bookmark and my other assessments that I did.

The strategies that I can use are my resources around me (anchor charts). I can also use the text to look back into and I will annotate the test so then I can look back and answer the questions. I will also look carefully at the questions and look closely in the text for the answers.

 Tools that I can use to help me practice for the assessment is my DIY bookmark that has text evidence techniques. I can also use my previous assessments, and read the rubric for what requirements are needed for getting a 4, 3, 2, and even a 1.

I did not do so great but if I get better text evidence I can get a 3 or 4 what I did do well on is my specific details.

I m using the anchor charts and my text evidence book mark.

On my previous assessment I did pretty good. My strengths for that test was that I can support my ideas with details from different part of the text.I can find text through out the story and not just in one spot. What I need to work for the next assessment is to find specific quotes that supports my ideas  instead of getting part of the story that somewhat or don’t go along with my idea. I just need to find text that help support my ideas and not against or for another idea. 

 To make sure that I get a good grade on my next assessment I will study off my DIY bookmark and to review the examples that Mrs. Reuter handed out to us. I will focus a lot on the strategies that I got wrong last time like text that has to relate to my ideas. If I do good with studying I have no doubt that I will do good on my assessment this Friday.

“Text evidence is evidence from a text (fiction or nonfiction) that you can use to illustrate your ideas and support your arguments. All textual evidence should: support a specific point. This can be done by citing the page number at the end of the sentence. (He shouted, “No more stone soup!”) (p. 14)”

On my previous assessments, I got a 2.5. I can do better on Friday’s assessment by being more specific/clear and to not put in my own thinking.

I will use my DIY bookmark and my Henry’s Freedom Box to help me see what I can do better on and practice what I should do on new assessments to  come my way. The strategies that I will use during the test are to read the questions carefully. Then I will read the text. After that, I will annotate the text and I will only choose important sentences that make sense and answer the questions correctly.

  2.  On my previous assessments, I did okay, I didn’t add enough text evidence, if I would've added text evidence, it would have helped me a lot, that is why I am going to annotate any piece of good information I can find, that's how I am going to try to do better on this assessment.

  3. You can use previous assessments, anchor charts around the classroom, your text evidence bookmark, and anything else you can use that you have.

  4. Some strategies I am going to use is study all night for the assessment with all my resources, not sit by anyone I could talk to, and know what I did wrong on the first assessment, and try to do better on the next

your

ideas and support your arguments. When I look at my previous assessment I think that I could do better and I could have did better by use specific quotes and evidence to support my answer. On the test I did not do that good looking at all the progress that I made after that test. I can demonstrate on Friday a new understanding by reading the story more than 2 times and taking it a little bit slower than my normal test time and I will annotate the copied story and I will annotate the questions in the story. Materials that I can use to help me practice is my DIY bookmark that tells the definition and examples of text evidence and I can bring home my binder from school because that has a lot of examples in it. The strategies that I use is to read the story 2 times and I also use annotating on the story to help me answer the questions.

Textual evidence is evidence from a text (fiction or nonfiction) that you can use to illustrate your ideas and support your arguments. All textual evidence should: support a specific point. This can be done by citing the page number at the end of the sentence. (He shouted, “No more stone soup!”) (p.14)”

On my previous assessments, I did ok, but didn’t do so hot on stated where I got the evidence and how much evidence I used. I will work hard on tomorrow's/ Friday's assessment by focusing, really going throughout the text, (looking hard) and using the numbers at the bottom left-hand corner.

 I am going review my other text evidence assessment and read what Mrs. Reuter wrote on the rubrics, I am also going to look at the sheet Mrs. Reuter gave me. My strategies are to work hard look at my options of text evidence locate my best ones, hen use them and cite them with a number. 

   

When I look back on  my previous assessment I am pretty proud of myself. I got a good  grade, but, I hope to raise it a level higher. The way I will do that would be by, looking at the rubric closer to see my goals I need to achieve. Another thing I can do to improve on tomorrow’s test would be, reading the text all at once, then,annotate, then, read the text one section at a time, and finally answer the questions. On that previous test, I remembered to include several quotes from different parts of the story, and it something I want to carry to this next test. 

The tools I can use for this next test would be the rubric and the posters around the classroom. These will help me if I am stuck and they will help me make sure I am using the proper sentence starters or use the quotes correctly. The strategies I will use will be taking my time, look over my previous assessment before the test, and focus on what’s in front of me.

Some tools I can use to study for tomorrow's test are my previous test and I can use my DIY bookmark to study.

 Some strategies I could use is the first time I’ll just read over the story. Then after that I will review the questions. Once I’ve done that I can read over the story again and start annotating. Some strategies that I can use are, with the extra space on the story paper I can start a brainstorming process and this will help me put all of my ideas of thinking together and then I’ll just have to write it out on paper.

On my last text evidence assessment some positives where, I did what I was told to do, I didn’t make many mistakes, and I got the answers right. But 1 negative I had was I forgot to add some specific quotes and I got a worse grade that I wanted. So next time I take a text evidence assessment I will add specific quotes from the text to get a grade I want. I will also take my time to be sure I didn’t miss anything and get the best grade I can.

The tools that I will use to practice for the test are all of my previous tests because I will look them over to see what I can improve on. I will also use my resources that I have and I will look for what good readers look for when finding text evidence. During the test I will read it over then re-read what I have read already and annotate it to find the traits the character has, what he does, what he looks like, and where he lives, I will also look for what he does for fun and for a living if he has a job.

 On my last assessment I got a score that I was happy with it then but now that I have more understanding of text evidence I feel like I can push myself to a higher score. Tomorrow I hope to get a better score than I did earlier in the year by selecting specific details and quotes from several parts of the story and to discuss how those details and citations support in my ideas.

I will use my other assessments and my bookmark to help me through this process. My strategies are to read the questions first and then read the text so that I know what I am looking for. Then I reread the questions and reread the text. Next, I would write down the answers while looking back at the text just so I know that I have every detail that could fit in with the question. Lastly, I would reread my answers and fix my answer if need be. 

Looking at my previous assessment I did pretty well. My strongest point is independently supporting my ideas and claims with specific details (quotes) and evaluating evidence to see which is strongest to support my claim. However, I think I could be a little better at organizing my ideas so I don’t have huge jumbles of words and quotes and claims. On Friday's assessment, I want to make sure I do things in a certain, order here it is. Number one, I’m going read the questions that way I can look for parts of the story. Number two, I’m going to read the story. Number three, I’m going to read the questions again and reread the story while annotating. Finally, I’m going to answer the questions using specific detail. I think some tools I could defiantly use are my text evidence bookmark (reviewing it ). Also, my Henry's freedom box and the exemplary will prove most useful for me to review them and look at what I/they did and then go from there for my assessment. Finally, I can use my Weslandia assessment to look at what I most definitely should not do because in that one I lacked all the basic skills and did not understand what to do. Finally, some strategies I could use on tomorrow's assessment would be is to read the questions first (so I don’t miss a thing). Also using very precise annotations and being absolutely sure that I find the perfect quote based on the question. 

I believe that's all. Thank you for reading this and wish me luck on my assessment. 

Text evidence is evidence you find in text. It is evidence that you can use within the text to explain a claim.  For example, if a text evidence assessment had a question of “Was the life of a slave (both child and adult) difficult or unfair?” -Text Evidence Assessment Henry’s Freedom Box.  You would read through the text, read the questions then annotate and then read and answer the questions.   Anything that you annotated can be used to answer the question.  You may reply to yes, it was unfair because of (reasons).  Then you would need evidence to back it up and why you think this is unfair. 

Take a look at your previous assessments.  How did you do?  What can you do on Friday’s assessment to demonstrate your new understanding?     How I think I did was pretty good.  On the text assessment called “Henry's Freedom box”  I was very confused at first.  I understood the story and the questions but how to include enough “Text Evidence”  was an issue I thought about.  Not until I read the story again I got a clear view of what it means by “Text Evidence” Overall other than that little issue I went through it pretty easy.  I understood the questions and could give the answers it was looking for.  When I thought I had a lot of quotes I had my piece given back to me with a final grade.  I was proud of that score but I read the note by it.  I needed more quotes to support my reasoning.  I want to work on giving more quotes.  Ever since that assessment, I had a bunch of trouble with giving more quotes.  I couldn’t see more than one or two.  

What tools can you practice/review for the assessment? What strategies should you use when completing a text evidence assessment?  What tools I should use?  I should use my text evidence bookmark I created.  If I can’t find that there is a sheet with a basic meanings and how to find/use text evidence.  I also have text evidence assessments in the past I have worked on.  I can take these home to study and the next day to prepare and use my information that I studied.

All text evidence essays or arguments should include:

 2> Looking back on my previous text evidence assessment, I did very well done. I independently supported my ideas with specific details from several parts of the story. I selected these because they strongly match my point. Even though I’m very proud of my score, I’ve learned a lot since the assessment. On the next test, I’ll evaluate the text more and find which evidence is the strongest, and why that piece of evidence that I chose is, in fact, the strongest, and also why I chose that as the strongest point of textual evidence.

 3> The tools that I can use on my next assessment are the posters set up around the room, the rubric, and studying. By looking at the posters around the room, I can see examples and words I can use for the test. By using the rubric, I can easily see my goals and make sure I am following my guidelines. By studying, I can remember what I need to from my previous text evidence assessments and examples and bookmarks. I will also helpfully annotate my text to fit my needs.

 I quite believe that that’s all. Thank you for reading, and wish me luck on my assessment.

On my previous assessments, I did good, but I had lots of space to improve. What I did good was I supported my ideas with details. What I can improve on is adding quotes and citations. I had few citations and no quotes. I hope to improve on adding those two things to my text evidence on my next test. On Friday's assessment, I will be sure to add multiple citations and quotes. I also needed to improve on annotating. On Friday's test, I will annotate the story and take my time to do it too.

The tools I will use to complete my test are my past assessments and my DIY bookmark.I will study these tonight and make sure they will come into play while I’m taking my test tomorrow. The strategies I will use are using my memorized things from my bookmark and using my annotated text. I hope those two strategies will help my scores go up on the assessment! 

1. I should practice how I read the story so that I don’t pass over the important things that I should use in my claim.

2. I should practice how I write my evidence because the way that I do it sounds unprofessional for example, I use sentences like, “yes because everyone at school tormented him.” or like “Curious because the students become part of waslandia.”

3. I lastly want to fix what I put into my claim and what I leave out. Because some of the things that I put into my claim are not very effective

Text evidence is where you find evidence from the text and you can use it in tests. When there is a question to find text evidence about a certain part, there usually is 3+ text evidence sentences. You can also use it to support your argument whether it’s fiction or nonfiction. An example of text evidence is, “One page ___ it said ___, or you can put, during this part of the story____, Henry said_____” On my previous test, I think that I did pretty well. Something that I can work on is adding more text evidence, I also need to clarify my answers because I usually say things in general. For example, I said “To cross the oceans” I wasn’t clear on the ocean that they were crossing. I am sure that if I can fix these things if I do I will improve. I can also add my thoughts and more details, this will also help me achieve my goal.

Some tools that I can use during the test, is using text evidence leads. This will make my piece more of the expectation. I can also my head to remember certain things for the test. I can also study the night before on what I need to remember so that I can use those tools in the text. I will make sure to get sleep the night before so I’m not tired and not knowing what to do.

After looking at my previous assessments, I did great and had very strong evidence on my Henry’s freedom box assessment. But on my Weslandia assessment, I also did great, but I don't think that I really had enough quotes from the story added in, and am planning to add more quotes when the next assessment comes. I will do this by paying attention to the story even more than I regularly do to find quotes that I could put in my essay, I will know that I’ve done this by when the next text evidence assessment comes.

To get a better score on my assessment than ever, I can practice, or review the example assessments to see what I can get to get a 3 or maybe even a 4. Some strategies that I can use in my text evidence assessment could be to analyze the posters around the room that are involved with text evidence. I can also use my past assessments to see what I’ve done, what I could do better compared to my last assessment, and what I did good, so I can try that again. 

I hope that doing all of these things improves my grade on my next assessment!

I did a good job on previous tests, which means I put in lots of detail and I made sure it was reasonable. I want to put in lots of detail in again so that I can try to push past my average and break through to a new level. I also want to make sure it’s reasonable in a way that everyone can understand and there is no confusion between Mrs. Reuter and I. 

I will use tools such as my Henry’s Freedom Box Text Evidence Assessment and my Weslandia Text Evidence Assessment and say, “What can I do better in these sections and what can I use to have my test better?” I can also study and have good enthusiasm for the test.   

First of all, I have to revise what text evidence means, just in case if I forgot a few details. Text evidence is where you read a book (Nonfiction or fiction) and you find evidence in that book to support your argument. You find examples in the story to help find ideas to make your argument is even stronger. When you use text evidence, you have to cite the source in order to have a complete evident. For example, you can say, “On page ____, it said___.” Or, “According to the text….”. Text evidence is very important, or else your argument won’t come to life.

Next, is my opinion on my previous text evidence assessments. I feel like I did pretty good on the text evidence assessment to the book, “Henry’s Freedom Box”. The part that I am most proud of is citing text evidence. I feel like I gave every text evidence there was for the first argument. But I feel like I lost it towards the end. My goal is to keep the vibe throughout the whole assessment. Some stuff that would be included would be multiple text evidence quotes, the reasons why I picked that quote, and why it is very important. Plus, I want to pick off every single little detail from the quotes to make the argument extremely supportive. On Friday, I will pick out every little detail and make it into a strong argument.

Last but not least, these are some tools I will use to help me study. I would say the number one tool that will help me alot is the DIY text evidence bookmark. That way I can get a quick understanding of how it should be. I will also study the 4 examples of the text evidence for the book, “Weslandia,” by Paul Fleischman. That way I can see a 4 example, and I can follow that format. Finally I will look at my text evidence assessment of the books called, “Henry’s Freedom Box,” and “Weslandia”. I will study that so then I can see what I can improve on, and the things that I should keep on doing to help me get a better grade. 

I know I will do good on my text evidence assessment this Friday because I know what text evidence means, I looked at my previous text evidence assessments, and I studied my tools. 

“ What is Text Evidence. Textual evidence is evidence from a text (fiction or nonfiction) that you can use to illustrate your ideas and support your arguments. All textual evidence should: support a specific point. This can be done by citing the page number at the end of the sentence.” I didn't do so good and so I need to independently support my ideas with details to go up a grade. My goal is to get to my grade level. To do so I need to “independently support my Ideas with specific details and quotes from several parts of the story. I select these because they are strong and they accurately match my points. I discuss how those details and citations support my ideas.” I can use my bookmark and text evidence assessments to study for my test tomorrow. Two strategies that I can use for my test is reading the text first then annotating the text so that I can do the answers correctly and efficiently.

 2.Read the questions more clearly because I didn’t read some questions clearly on Henry’s Freedom Box and so I really should pay attention to the questions also I should get more evidence for the story I am writing about I also need to annotate more.

3. I can use Henry’s Freedom Box assessment to look at my faults and try to fix them. Something I could use is the 4 example of Weslandia to see a good piece of work. Some strategies are I will read the story first then look at the questions then I will  annotate the text for text evidence and finally I will focus on my test.   

 

“Textual evidence is evidence from a text (fiction or nonfiction) that you can use to illustrate your ideas and support your arguments. Argument. All textual evidence should: support  a specific point. This can be done by citing the page number at the end of the  

Sentence. ( he shouted, “no more stone soup!) (pg.14)”

      

       When I looked at my tests, I found out some things I did not do correctly. I did not explain my reasoning very much, so I will try to explain my reasoning more. To get better, I will study every night on the stuff  I do not do very much by looking at my old text evidence assessment.
