RE: Examine student performance: Instruction/Delivery of Lessons in ELA
We looked at students who were still scoring a level "1" on writing pieces. Strategies:
- Pull together these students in a small group during the workperiod in the "writer's workshop".
- Pick one topic - fingerprinting (police detective task)
- Bring together research at different ranges of reading levels
- Model "determining importance" in regard to the the what goes on the writing frame
- Modify how the students are filling out the frame. Include graphic organizers/web if necessary for some students before using the frame.
- After students write the first draft, model paraphrasing to put research copied onto the frame into the students' own words.
Institute a weekly writing session to work on paragraphing for Inquiry students and develop the writing of students who have mastered writing well-developed paragraphs.
