Lucy Calkins Opinion Writing Continuum by Jennifer McMahon https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d What did you learn? en-us 2017-03-12 15:08:30 UTC 2017-03-13 14:38:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 2 * K.gartners are expected to mostly talk and discuss at a simple level what their opinions are. As we move across the grade levels, the expectations change to more analytical and in depth. https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159678670 2017-03-13 14:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159678670 Overall Opinion Writing https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159681706 Group 10
PK: Speaking
K: Speaking, drawing, writing
1st- Writing
2nd-6th: Writing, giving reasons, supporting in a variety of evidence such as claims, thesis's, etc. Building arguments that tie to a conclusion.]]> 2017-03-13 14:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159681706 The learning progression from 3rd to 5th grade is significant. There is a lot more inferencing evidence expected. In the upper levels, a lot more mental planning needs to take place in order for their claim(s) to be supported. https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159681985 2017-03-13 14:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159681985 Group 7 Overall https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159683829
Despite coming from different grade levels, using the overall opinion rubric we can see the progression from grade to grade.  The progression builds and progresses from pictures of what you like and dislike, up to a claim/thesis with citing sources.  We talked about how in the upper grade levels you can use the same text evidence to support multiple and differing opinions.]]> 2017-03-13 14:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159683829 Group 5 https://padlet.com/jmcmahon13/tqc7gna2fw5d/wish/159684308
  • Increasing complexity over time
  • Rubric hits all the components of an author's craft
  • expectations for spelling seem weak; need improvement
  • grade 3 and up: writers continually expected to connect opinion to evidence
  • moved from like / dislike to providing evidence for claim
  • expectations seem to have shifted to younger kids

    -The rubric separates the the structure of the piece, the development, and language conventions- this allows you to figure out how to specifically support students

    Notice - change starts in 4th grade, from stating an opinion to making a claim 
    - Go from likes vs. dislikes until 2nd grade, 3rd grade is an opinion and then we are making a claim in 4th
    - 3rd grade incorporate the text
