Chapter 1 of The Writing Revolution by MAGGIE MARTIN https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt What have you learned about your students as writers as a result of reading Chapter 1 and administering the sentence level assessment? en-us 2019-12-03 21:35:05 UTC 2019-12-04 14:42:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Lots of work ahead https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419647950 Consistent good grammar  and attending to it ALWAYS is still an issue.  It is like when I think about it instead of a habit of mind.  Irregular plurals are funky ex: snowmens.  Apostrophes are over used and under used.  Ex:  used anytime I have a "s" or not  uses for it's or in the wrong spot.

From Assessment:
1) Tricky incomplete and complete for short sentences are still not 100%
2) But and Because are great but so is still flimsy.  I think it is because I am not as clear on so
3) Command language are not secure.]]> 2019-12-04 14:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419647950 lucy_gonzales https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648066 Many students are still struggling with how to finish a sentence. There are many who write run-on sentences as if they aren't sure how much to write or when to stop.]]> 2019-12-04 14:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648066 sarah_schroen https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648103 I have learned that my students are not transferring over certain skills that are being taught in DLI such as capitalizing the first letter of a sentence, proper nouns, and ending a sentence with a period.]]> 2019-12-04 14:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648103 Aly https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648106 After reviewing the 5th grade sentence assessment, I'm realizing that we need to be guiding the students in writing more complex sentences, because they are ready for it. 
The other ah-ha I had was that many of their mistakes were forgetting a period or not capitalizing the sentence. As their teacher, this shows me that I have not emphasized the importance of this. Also, I wonder if I need to change some settings in Google Docs. ]]> 2019-12-04 14:35:01 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648106 I learned that my students are able to transfer DLI into their writing when we specifically work on DLI but often have a hard time transferring that to narrative, RACE responses, and daily writing tasks.

Students could fix 80% of their errors if they had a consistent habit of rereading in their heads. https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648287 2019-12-04 14:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648287 Amy https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648292 Before giving the assessment, I was nervous that students would struggle with it, however, based on their scores, I believe that they are ready to learn how to write more complex sentences to become even stronger 5th grade writers. ]]> 2019-12-04 14:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648292 Math ayoder12 https://padlet.com/maggie_martin/sn6hko86hnqt/wish/419648405 Having students respond correctly to a constructed response math question takes time to teach.
