Marking Up Our Assessments
Hello! Today students were given 10 minutes to revise and edit their essays from yesterdays assessment. We then marked up their essays to reveal their successes. Students were able to give themselves an estimated grade based on the information that was to be included in their answer. Now, we will look at their essays and mark it for a final grade. Typically, students grades and teachers grades are very close. We then started a preview activity from the interactive notebook on page 192 to determine the traits of a good leader. This is an introduction to our next topic, Was Alexander Great? There is no specific homework for the weekend. Enjoy the weather!
