- We started the period with the Arthurian Legends Unit Exam. The test was 35 questions long and the students could use a 5x8 index card with notes if they were hand written on one side of the card.
- During the test, Mr. Leal & myself collected the homework: the Arthur Paragraph, and the Arthur Activity Packet with reading notes.
- When the students finished the test, they stapled their 5x8 notes card to the exam and pick-ed up the Writing Assessment Rubric & Rewrite Template.
- We then reviewed the Writing Assessment Rubric. We established the fact that it is probably appropriate for a sophomore to have a 2-3 on the 6-point rubric.
- We then distributed the graded writing assessments to each student.
- I then introduced the rewrite template. The students will have one week to complete the rewrite. In order to complete the rewrite, the students need to understand the prompt they are to respond to; therefore, we reviewed the prompt. By the end of our discussion of the prompt, many of the students realized why they got the score they received.
- We spent the rest of the period watching Monty Python
- Homework: VFA #7-8, work on the Writing Assessment Rewrite-DUE Friday October 22 (Upload to Turnitin.com by Thursday October 21 @ 11:59pm).
