  12. Assessment used with all work turned-in

  13. Average scores are based on 3 writing opportunities. Oral better for paraphrasing.

  14. Future Goals based on assessments 1. Students write a summary in their own words. • Find ways to help students put ideas into their own words. Drag and drop ideas and putting into own words worked( chunked for student) but didn’t transfer to summarizing entire article on their own. • More modeling and practicing from actual articles would help. Check into Google Docs or Word Processor.

  15. Reflection • The lesson through formative and summative assessments showed progress of 4 point per student on the rubric. • The concern now is that it didn’t transfer to working independently on articles. Students will be shown ways to bring articles down to reading level or find one that are and how to use text to speech. • The lessons will be used again with these changes as final step.
