LEARNING FROM STUDENT WORK

The Protocol


EngageNY.org


6

Purposeful Language• See (evidence) – describe evidence by literally

pointing to what you see in the work.• Think (interpretations/inferences) – explain

what something means based on something that can be seen in the work. Evidenced-based interpretation.

• Connect (learning) – use observations and interpretations to answer the focusing question (reason we are examining the work).

• 4. Evaluation – make a judgment.


EngageNY.org

Name the Purpose1. I see three spelling errors.2. I see the student is using ee for the ea sound three times,

in the words, “beet,” “meet,” and “streat.”3. The first sentence in the paragraph is a topic sentence.4. I think that the student ran out of time because the hand

writing gets sloppier and the last sentence has no period.5. I see how the specific focus on vocabulary in the read-

alouds supports the child’s use of similar vocabulary within his writing piece. For example, the word “democracy” is used in writing in a similar way and in a similar sentence to what was in the read-aloud.

6. Obviously, this student has not been taught grammar.

Domino Share• Decide who is going first.• Introduce yourself to your

colleagues at your table. Each person should share your:

Name; Role; and One point relevant to the

particular share.• First person will point to the

Session 7: How Is Writing Explicitly

Taught within CKLA–NYGrammar, Spelling, Handwriting, and

Content Knowledge within the Skills Strand

24


EngageNY.org


Grammar• Each new grammar

skill is explicitly taught.

• Teacher defines the grammar skill.

• Use of the skill is modeled.

• Oral and written class practice takes place.

25


EngageNY.org


Grammar• Worksheets are

used for independent practice.

• Students can practice skills:

Independently;With a partner;With the teacher.

26


EngageNY.org


Grammar• Students apply the

knowledge gained. • Students do a

communicative task on the topic.

27


EngageNY.org


Grammar• Students practice

the skill in context using skills readers.

• There is no disconnect between what students have learned and how they use that knowledge.

28


EngageNY.org


Spelling• Students learn to spell

in an systematic way.• Students are introduced

to spelling alternatives.• Students learn to

decode the spellings while reading.

• Then children work to choose the correct spelling in writing.

29


EngageNY.org


Spelling• Spelling begins with

segmenting/sound spelling review.

• Chaining reinforces spelling.

• Students independently spell from dictation: words, phrases, sentences.

30


EngageNY.org


Spelling• Spelling words are

introduced in a warm up activity.

• Spelling practice occurs through word sorts and other activities.

• “Take Home” sheets list words for parental support.

31


EngageNY.org


Spelling

• Results are recorded on the spelling class template provided in TG.

• Data are used to analyze where students need help.

• Teachers provide targeted remediation in small, flexible groups.

32


EngageNY.org


Creative and Inventive Spellings

• Students use spellings they have learned.

• Teachers accept spellings that are plausible: “Wate” for wait, “ade” for aid “Kat” for cat “Axp” is not an acceptable spelling for

“dog”

Session 8: How Does CKLA–NY Support the

Writing Process?A Familiar Approach

38


EngageNY.org


Three-Step Writing Process

• Various text types are taught across the grades.

• For any one text type (e.g., fictional narrative), the writing process for that text type occurs over consecutive lessons.

39


EngageNY.org


Planning• Introduction of text

type.• Connection to

previous text types.• Teacher models

planning of piece with class.

40


EngageNY.org


Planning: Fictional Narratives

As a class:• Review of story

elements;• Brainstorm ideas;

and• Observe teacher

modeling.

41


EngageNY.org


Drafting: Fictional Narrative

As a class:• review of what was

done in planning stage;

• students share ideas verbally; and

• teacher serves as scribe writing down the student’s ideas.

42


EngageNY.org


Plan and Draft a Fictional Narrative

Independently

43

Students:• Apply what they’ve learned.• Write another version of the story on their

own.• Are reminded of the three- step writing

process.• Can refer to brainstorming ideas.• Use Story Elements template for planning• Receive teacher support if they are not ready

to write independently


EngageNY.org


Editing• Students volunteer to

have their piece edited by the class.

• Peers offer suggestions.

• Teacher conferences with student.

• Student self-assesses using checklist specific to text type.

44


EngageNY.org


Editing• Students are taught

how to edit.• Editing is practiced as a

class.• Mr. Mowse asks for

help.• Students contribute to

make his piece better.• Students are taught

editing conventions.

45


EngageNY.org


Summary of the Writing Process

• Plan, Draft, Edit phases explicitly taught over consecutive lessons

• Planning and Drafting- as a class, then independently

• Text types taught across K-2 and all rely on this process

• Allows for continued support and predictable learning as children progress in their knowledge of text types and complexity of writing

46


EngageNY.org


Five Features of Teaching Writing in CKLA1. Carefully sequenced progression of skills that are

scaffolded, modeled, and taught in steps.2. Opportunities for instruction in group or partner

setting prior to independent application.3. Instruction is consistent, building automaticity.4. Each lesson builds on previously taught skills.5. Oral activities take place before written activities.

48


EngageNY.org


One-Minute Paper• Write down your impressions of writing within

the CKLA–NY program—your questions, your concerns, your connections, and your most important take-aways.

• Domino Share one idea at your table.
