August 9 PD Comments on District Assessments by Mrs. Hood https://padlet.com/beachood/PDAssessment Education at its best en-us 2018-08-09 18:38:06 UTC 2018-08-09 18:54:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Challenges: 1)Letter format/ not taught/ not in standards 2) Having students write an Informal letter with an argumentative prompt was confusing because letters are informal and arguments are not 3) How to utilize graphs as evidence was difficult 4) Figure 1 was too complicated 5) Questions 3 and four are redundant and wordy To improve the assessment: 1) Link the sources and figures in the prompts, so students know exactly which figure/graph/article they are supposed to be writing about 2) Make colors less similar on graphs, so color blind students can see them better 3) Put "Notes" or tips in a colored, separate box as students were confused by the "Notes" written in line with the prompts and articles beachood https://padlet.com/beachood/PDAssessment/wish/272535756
