First Things First:

Invention:


Invention (Reading, Writing, and Communicating)


Appling new ways to solve problems is an ideal in reading and writing instruction. Invention is one of the key components of creating an exemplary writing piece or synthesizing information from multiple sources. Invention takes students to a higher level of metacognition while exploring literature and writing about their experiences.



  • How does the skill of Invention connect to something you already do in your classroom?


  • How might you integrate this skill more explicitly in your lessons?

  • What will you do to help students become better with this skill?



Common Assessment #3: Story of an Hour. Ideas on how to score these? This assessment is a bit unwieldy and I am torn as to how to proceed today.

Follow-up: 46% proficient.
Revise and reassess based on a few questions that we like: symbol, setting, irony? Something about conflict that's a little more straightforward...
