W6.5 - With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, and trying new approaches.

Purpose:
Today you will not be handing in your written responses to the compare contrast questions. Instead you will be working in a small group to evaluate your written responses. You should compare your responses to the examples given to you by the teacher. 

Directions:

  • Work with the members of your small group.
  • Take turns reading your responses
  • Use the scoring guide below to evaluate each answer. 
  • Each response is worth 8 points. 
Scoring should be:
  1. Intro - 1 point
  2. Details - 1 point
  3. Evidence - 1 point
  4. Reflection - 1 point
  5. Elaboration - 1 point
  6. Spelling - 1 point
  7. Grammar - 1 point
  8. Mechanics/Conventions - 1 point
Next week  you will be handing in your written responses to be scored by me. This is your opportunity to evaluate your own writing, see what you do well, see what you need to improve, and make the necessary improvements.
