Homework
6/16 to 6/17 - In Class Final Sentences (100 points) Learning Target - I will learn exactly what the 4 major sentences of writing need to accomplish for a strong score on my final. Task #1 -4 sentence final…+ 1 - Make sure you have gathered the best of your best work, “memorized” it and that they meet the following expectations. Make sure to think about how these sentences will sound out loud. This is the ultimate test in writing!
Task #2 - Grading Method and Scoring - I am almost halfway through all TKM essays and emailed samples. Please review our scales and remember that an A- (90%) equals meeting standard. If your score fell below that then there are necessary areas of improvement. Double check CD selections (embedding, citations, importance of CD), Thesis (clearly and insightfully answers your question) and topic Statements (explain your thesis in more detail). I also ran into some word choice issues that really impacted overall sophistication (things, you, I, good, bad). HomeworkDue 6/10 by the start of the class - ALL 13 Skills Graded in Family Access
