Coleman+UPLAN+1st+5+Lessons

I'm working on creating a new Summative Assessment because while I was creating my lesson plans, I realized that my current summative assessment was restricting me too much. In my feedback I was told to think about how I would respond to journal/diary entries from students, which is something that I plan to have my students do throughout the unit. I will be using peer review workshops throughout my unit so my students can realize that they have criteria for recognizing strong versus weaker writing. I also don't want to restrict my students to thinking that good writing is quantitative, but rather depends on content. I think conventions are important to understand, but they don't make or break a piece of writing. I will definitely be keeping all of this in mind when evaluating any writing pieces I ask my students to hand in.
