Scholars will sit for their End of Unit 2 Assessment on Monday, 12/12 and Tuesday, 12/13. The End of Unit Assessment will not be a traditional exam, but a Literary Argument Essay. For the past week, scholars have been provided with instruction and materials that have guided them through the pre-writing process.
Scholars were informed in advance of the essay question: How does Bud use his rules: to survive or to thrive? They were given the opportunity to organize their thoughts in the Evidence-Based Claims Graphic Organizer and then learned how to incorporate evidence into a body paragraph by using the Quote Sandwich method. Scholars were also provided with the rubric that will be used to score their essays. Scholars are allowed to have these materials out while they write their essay.
Today, scholars wrote the first draft of their argumentative essay in ELA class. Over the weekend, Ms. Russo and Ms. Corbiere will provide comments and feedback on each scholar's work. On Monday, rough drafts will be returned to scholars. They will then use our feedback, comments, and suggestions to edit their rough drafts and complete their essays. The essays will be due by the end of the period on Tuesday.
