  5. The Gift (30 minutes) • Read the poem, “The Gift” • Then, complete the activity. You may use the partners in your group to help you complete the assignment, but everyone needs to have their own paper turned in by the end of the exercise.

  6. Quick Write • Pull out a sheet of paper and a pen/pencil • Lets talk about standards based grading! Yay! • Think back to the marshmallow challenge…. • How can we connect the structures we created during the marshmallow challenge to our performance in standards based grading? Think of formative (20%) and summative (80%) assignments. What could the spaghetti represent? What could the marshmallow represent? Why?

  7. I-Search!!! • This six weeks you will be writing an I-Search, expository essay as your summative assessment. • What’s an I-Search Paper?.........
