https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi What misconceptions or skills gaps do you anticipate your students will have surrounding developing a line of reasoning? What actions will you take to address those gaps or misconceptions to foster student understanding of line of reasoning? en-us 2023-07-09 20:19:35 UTC 2023-07-12 05:05:56 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4d6.png https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022319 I want to do activities such as the one we did today and have students read samples of previous years, have them grade the essay, annotate it, and finally reveal the grades. This would genuinely help the morale of the students especially those who feel that they are not the strongest of writers. This will also help them with the organization. ]]> 2023-07-10 19:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022319 https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022379 Students often feel overwhelmed by the writing prompts and rubrics. However, the color-coding activity allows students to see that the task is reasonable, and if they successfully follow a line of reasoning, they can earn a passing score. ]]> 2023-07-10 19:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022379 https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022666 I believe my students will have a misunderstanding about how to establish a line of reasoning. A lot of (admittedly remedial) students I have worked with have thought that ‘drop quotes’ were enough to prove their claim. They would incorporate very little of their own commentary because they did not fully understand how to express the relationship between evidence and claim. 

I believe that writing and reading need to be taught and practiced in tandem. So, I would address the relationship between evidence and claim using annotating strategies, transition words, rhetorical choices/devices, and other writing strategies. ]]> 2023-07-10 19:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022666 https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642022927 I really enjoyed the activity where we restructured the paragraph that was divided up.  This would help students see how writing should follow a logical progression that makes sense and how the (proper) use of transition words really enhance their writing.

I think showing my students the correlation between the colors and scores is most valuable.

I think that will be powerful and useful for all of my students while emphasizing the fact that in their writing it is their voice that should be centered.]]> 2023-07-11 23:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2642958281 ariana_lavender https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2643295909 I love everything in this lesson because my students really struggle with line of reasoning and composing meaningful commentary. The paragraph organization and purposeful highlighting are fantastic.
This is also a great introductory lesson to RA essay writing. ]]> 2023-07-12 05:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/susanbray2/svsf2oej1i5la9gi/wish/2643295909
