We finished our review game on the Intro Unit-Closure Work Page. The scored Crubaugh Reading Claim & Evidence and Third Rock A/V Claim & Evidence work was returned and discussed -- students set up Skills Tracking Pages in Google Classroom (or had access to a paper handout from me if they preferred) to track their grades. These two assignments were then discussed and students edited their theses as needed -- answer key shown via SMARTboard and discussed. We went through the Crubaugh reading together to demonstrate how the thesis is found and where the evidence is, also. Students were reminded that the scores are simply feedback on their first attempts at this sophomore-level and they were also invited to see me during Advisory for some quick, one-on-one feedback and dialogue about these skills if the whole-class discussion and guidance didn't do the whole trick for them personally. (Theses need to be specific. Evidence needs to be full of detailed examples. Look up words and seek help when reading to be certain you've broken down and understood the material.) ; )
