What feedback would you provide:]]> 2021-03-22 17:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1339154136 Evidence was the visual and oral annotation model sharing the commas with explanation of commas. Feedback- color coding the sentence parts would be a visually helpful step as would previewing understanding of the words in the sentence. https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348462359 2021-03-24 15:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348462359 Yes, we saw evidence with arrows and explanations. How can you provide vocabulary support for students within the complex sentence? https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348463913 2021-03-24 15:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348463913 YES https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348463996 You highlighted the location of the commas separating ideas. I would recommend separating the sentence physically with slashes (like diagramming) to indicate new information. ]]> 2021-03-24 15:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348463996 Yes - the explanation of what the commas mean. Feedback: I think there are multiple steps that need to take place for students to understand the complex sentence. The comma and structure is only one layer but there would be levels of difficulty in the vocabulary in the sentence to make sense of it. I would also recommend breaking down the sentence to shorter statements to support understanding. https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348464020 2021-03-24 15:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348464020 There was evidence of targeted vocabulary in a sentence and the use of a video resource to expose student to complex sentences. https://padlet.com/mcwillens/udzs2e5mfdx8c4fy/wish/1348467109 Also, there was evidence of complex sentence deconstruction.
