Instructions
Together, you will discuss, debate and score each of the essays given to your group.
I will be walking around the classroom assisting and discussing whether an essay receives a check mark or a point if you and the group are unsure what to put down.
Context and Thesis have already been scored for you. For the purpose of this activity, half points will not be awarded.
The learning objective is for you and your groups to see other students' work while checking to see if the students correctly described 3 (summarized), supported 6 (their argument), and explained 3 (HIPP) each of the documents.
You will also be scoring for Outside Information, and Complex Understanding.
Each essay will have a rubric that you will attach, and one person per group will fill it out at the end of the lesson, giving the student a final score ___/7.
