Expository+Writing

//**- Writers Inc.**//
For the Expository Essay, we will use the following Expository Formative Assessment Student Progress Chart to get students involved in establishing learning goals and tracking their own progress. Refer to page 26 in Marzano's book for assistance. Each week, for six weeks, we will give our students an opportunity to write a three paragraph Expository essay. We will only be grading all of the items found on the rubric: Content, Organization & Focus, and Grammar & Mechanics. We will use the rubrics to check the essays so that we can give concentrated feedback to our students. Of course, the Organization & Focus, and Grammar & Mechanics sections take longer than six weeks to teach and correct those areas. We will continue to teach those items and convey their importance throughout the school year.
