My class has an Average of 17 on Plan Reading
Average of 15 on Plan English
I’ve already trained them to
Work in collaborative learning structures
Use digital tools for reading and composing
Use skills-based rubrics with descriptive indicators
Use Self-assess and Peer-assess
Great. So what?
Move ‘em forward!
ACT Ideas for Progress
What can they already do?
What do they need to learn next?
What can we do to move them forward?
Let’s see what this looks like
15 on Plan English – meets Benchmark
Ideas for progress
• Check for and correct unnecessary commas.
• Revise writing to ensure that information is in the best order.
• Read writers of various genres and imitate their work.
Let’s see what this looks like
17 on Plan Reading— below benchmark
Ideas for progress
• Explain the significance of specific information.
• Distinguish between what is most and least important in a text.
• Identify statements in texts that clearly state the causes and effects of specific events.
Common Core Standards http://rt3nc.org/objects/standards/cclitmap/ela.html
RI.1.9-10. Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
RI.3.9-10. Analyze how the author unfolds an analysis or series of ideas or events, including the order in which the points are made, how they are introduced and developed, and the connections that are drawn between them. Students examine how an author builds an opinion or a study with key details, paying close attention to how the ideas are introduced, sequenced, and developed. Finding the connections between ideas should be reviewed.
L.2.6-8. Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
6.a. Use punctuation (commas, parentheses, dashes) to set off nonrestrictive/parenthetical elements.
7.a. Use a comma to separate coordinate adjectives (e.g., It was a fascinating, enjoyable movie but not He wore an old[,] green shirt).
8.aUse punctuation (comma, ellipsis, dash) to indicate a pause or break.
W.5.9-10. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.
