Periods 1 and 3 HW

Period 1: Your assignment is to assess two FCAT prompts.  You can find these essays by CLICKING HERE.  In addition, you will need to print the Writing Roadmap Feedback form, which is on the left of the blog (you will need one form per essay).  Pretend you are the Writing Roadmap program generating a score for each of these essays.  If you were the computer program, how would you grade the essays  according to each category on the feedback form (organization, mechanics, etc.)?   What score would you give it for each section?  What would be the holistic score (typically, it's an average of the various categories)?  What comments would you provide for the essays on the Narrative Feedback section?  Remember to include both a positive comment, as well as a recommendation for improvement for each of the categories.   You DO NOT have to fill out the Self-Reflection or the Peer Score section.  Attach the forms to the essays.  Let's see how close you get the score we would give it!  This is due next class.


Also remember that the FINAL PRODUCT of your vocab game is due on Thursday!  SMILE :)


Period 3:  As a result of your hasty exit today, I was not able to chat with you about your HW...so here it is!  Using the hand graphic organizer (like we did in class today), and plan for an ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY on the following quote: “In the classroom, every moment counts."  Use your notes from today for what you should be including.  On the back of your graphic organizer, write an introduction for this argumentative essay :)


YOUR COMPREHENSIVE VOCAB TEST IS MONDAY!  Woohoo!
