  6. Making your own!

  7. First things first: Login to Compass Your personal teacher login and password

  9. This is where you will be able to tell if a student has turned in a writing assignment. The colored box will be animated and show paper moving into the box- we will come back to this! This is where we will click to build our assignment

  10. This is what you will see… we need to SCROLL DOWN!!!!!

  11. This is where we need to click to start our assignment

  12. WELCOME to ODYSSEY WRITER!

  13. This is the first thing your students will see when they open up their assignment. ** Once the student closes this information they will not see it again until they log out of the program and sign back inOR press the COPY button in the lower left corner) Introductions/Prompts

  14. This can be used as an introduction of what your students will be doing It can also review familiar concepts or share expectations for the assignment Example

  15. Writing Framework This is where your students will begin writing I use this as a place to put more specific directions and just ask the kids to delete them when they are finished There are four possible pages… we are currently on page one

  16. Example You can set up your students writing here if they are already aware of the expectations and directions

  17. Or you can write much more thorough directions and have your students delete it when finished, or just start their work on page two (be aware that if you choose this and have your students print, it will print both pages) Example

  18. Note Cards This is a great prewriting strategy for students. It also allows you to help guide their writing. You can let them use the cards independently to organize their thoughts, or you may fill in the cards first and have them finish them

  19. Here the notecards are merely reminding students of expectations and are allowing this space to organize their thoughts Example

  20. Here the notecards are being used to remind the students of the order of the summarizing steps and which questions should be asked at each step Example

  21. Web Links Here you can provide websites for students to visit in order to help them complete their writing activities Just make up a title and copy/paste the URL in the space provided

  22. Example Here the web link took the students to a short story. They had to read it and then practice summarizing.

  23. Rubric This is the rubric that students will self-evaluate with and also how you will grade their work. Rubrics can be saved and reused for multiple writing assignments.
