Writing about a writing assignment:

Describe the assignment that you have in front of you and use the resources provided to identify the common core standards that this writing assignment hits.


 * Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
 * Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience
 * Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach


 * I had my students write outlines and gave feedback on the outlines and rough drafts to assist my students in the revision of their papers.

Insecurities about assignment?


 * Can I reword the assignment to better direct my students in their writing?
 * What next steps can I take with this assignment to ask my students to go further in their writing and learning?

Student work


 * I haven’t read the “finished” drafts; my students handed in the assignment yesterday.
