Part 3 of a 3-Part Series on Supporting Student Writing
Giving students feedback on their writing is the most effective way to provide immediate, actionable, and individualized support. But the process shouldn’t be so time-consuming that it only happens once or twice a year. Led by Annette O'Boyce, Senior National Facilitator at the National Center on Education and the Economy, this three-part series discusses efficient strategies for delivering focused writing feedback that any history teacher can use.
You do not need to have attended either of the previous sessions to participate in session three, as a brief recap will be provided!
In this third session, a session participant will be invited to share an early draft of one of their ninth- or tenth-grade history students' written work for review with the facilitator. Annette will demonstrate the "Post-it Method" for identifying strengths, weaknesses, and instructional opportunities. Participants will then pair off to apply the method to their own samples, followed by a summative discussion with the whole group!
