Unit 1 Assessment Feedback Formal Formative Assessment
General Feedback • Pre-write until it hurts • Follow directions… • If the question asks you to base your response on the question before…make sure your answers jive • Most points were lost for this reason • Needed to nail the characteristics for a 5 in order to get it • Couldn’t just have 4 poorly explained specific examples
Be on Time or Early • Block 1: 9/20- 45% • Block 3: 10/21- 48% • Block 4: 13/19- 68 % • Block 5: 10/20- 50% • Follow Directions and turn your work in.
Question 3 • Yes, what the Nazis did was horrible • They are guilty • However, punishment is based on ID formation, not the fact that they are guilty
Paragraph Structure • Topic sentence, make sure it relates back to argument • Evidence, multiple examples (elevated examples from class) • Conclusion, explain importance of what you just said
Specifically.. • The most effective paragraphs • Explained the context • Said which type of individual came from this society • How the individual turned out • Concluding sentence was related back to argument and stated importance of the paragraph • Example: Clearly, Andrew Carnegie overcame his difficult context and improved his life as well as the lives of many other Americans. Thus, individuals form their own identity.
Transitions • Words are effective • Then, next, Second • Sentences are even better! • Just like Adolf Hitler, Vlad the Imapler had a difficult childhood and formed his own identity. • Likewise, Charles Manson formed his own identity despite his surroundings in 1960s America.
Grammar • No Comma Splices! • Don’t join two complete sentences by a comma • Andrew Carnegie went to the steel mill, he was a busy man. • Andrew Carnegie went to the steel mill; he was a busy man. • Andrew Carnegie went to the steel mill and he was a busy man
Spelling • Nazi not Natzi (sounding it out doesn’t help you here) • Their, there, and they’re • 1960s, Nazis • Not 1960’s or Nazi’s • Unless you mean possession • Don’t use I, we, you, your • Be formal
Concluding Paragraphs • Rephrase your argument • Tell me why your thesis is important, why this answer matters • Example: If individuals don’t control their identity formation, they can’t be found guilty for crimes committed.
