Tech 8 (Stein): SmarterBalanced testing
ELA - Day 10 had two teaching points! Students reviewed their outlines to be sure that each reason/focus question supports the thesis, and each fact or detail supports the reason/focus question. We then discussed what "fully citing" a source means. Not only do they need to have a properly formatted Bibliography, but they also need to cite the source within the text (parenthetical citations). Some got this concept with the Literary Analysis at the beginning of the year, but some are still not grasping the concept of notating within the paper what source is being quoted. Please review the Quotes & Paraphrasing: Parenthetical (In Text) Citations guide I gave them today. This is an important step in the writing and researching process.We then moved on to convert our outlines into rough drafts, we will be peer reviewing tomorrow. Homework: Rough Draft, READ, Journal #16
