Today in class, we started with discussing our writing portfolios. We decided that you can either have a separate binder or a section in your idea notebook. For next Thursday, you need to write a reflection including how it is organized, what you have learned, and your views on Juanita's teaching. Next, I presented a poetry writing sample from a second grade boy. We discussed his strengths and how we can help him grow. We then evaluated his work using a 4 point holistic scoring guide. Then, Kelsey and Jenna G. presented a lesson on word choice. We created mad libs and made sentences by rearranging words on note cards.
