Practice:Assessment Item for your Class Write a BRIEF piece (4-8 sentences)
Possibility: smoothly move between two scenes, like swimming followed by a picnic
Assessment Items for your Class
Write a BRIEF piece, smoothly moving between two scenes (4-8 sentences)
Now ONLY deconstruct a couple sentences Make them very general or vague Cut their elaboration Use kidspeak Create incorrect conventions or texting shortcuts Cut the smooth transition to a new scene Skip the lead-in or ending – abruptly start or stop
Assessment Items for your Class Tell your elbow partner what will need to be
changed (missing elaboration, conclusion, etc.)
Read your item.
Let your partner identify the incorrect area and bring it up to standard.
What About Informational Text?Students: Find key details to support a central idea Write a brief summary (key details + central
idea) Identify which parts are an author’s opinion Support inferences with details from text Identify weak areas of an argument, and
rewrite them Identify portions of a text that don’t support
an argument
Sample Test Items – Generalities Summary lacking a key detail The relationship between plot and setting Find evidence that this is the author’s opinion Differentiate between shades of meaning in text Summary: out of order Create a logical sense of order and wholeness
through transitions: show sentence to sentence progression
Find a sentence that doesn’t support an argument Find a sentence that disrupts the flow Show how a character changes over course of story Insert dialogue How does dialogue move this story forward
