Narrative+Writing

For the Narrative essay, we will use the following [|Narrative 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 brief narrative. We will only be grading the items found in the content area on the rubric. This way, our students can focus their learning goals on one area of the rubric. We will use the following rubrics to check the narratives so that we can give concentrated feedback to our students. Of course the organization and focus and grammar and mechanics sections are important, but we know that it takes longer than six weeks to teach and correct those areas. We will include them in our instruction, but for this formative experiment, we will not focus on those areas. Instead, we will continue to teach those items and convey their importance.
