SMART Goal:

The percentage of English 1A students scoring proficient or higher in the effective sequencing of events in a personal narrative will increase from 45% to 85% by the end of the first unit (drafts due October 8) as measured by the Write Source Personal Narrative Unit administered on October 8.

Common Teaching Strategies 1. Use of common terms for sequencing transitions 2. Use exemplars (good and bad from __Write Source__) 3. Use common graphic organizers for sequencing 4. Specific activity for use of imagery Resources 1. __Write Source__ book 2. A list of common transitions 3. Common Graphic Organizers Processes 1. Brainstorming 2. Feedback on Prewriting 3. Check for understanding 4. Assessments (use of transitions, identifying sequences in professional pieces, etc)

September 22, 2010 IF (teacher behavior) - THEN (student behavior)

1. If teachers do a sensory detail activity, then students will have a better understanding of sensory details.

2. If teachers use a common sequencing graphic organizer, then students will have a visual representation of sequencing in a personal narrative.

3. If teachers provide exemplars of a personal narrative, then students will practice identifying sequencing in a narrative.

4. If teachers overtly teach transitions, then students will revise their drafts for transitions.

After collecting the personal narrative essays, we found that 93% of those who turned it in mastered the skill of sequencing events within a personal narrative.

The percentage of English 1A students scoring proficient or higher in the ability to integrate textual evidence that relates to a given theme will increase from below 10% to 65% by December 8th as measured by a post assessment of introducing, citing, and explaining, graded with a rubric created by the 1A team, administered on December 8th.

Common Teaching Strategies Instructional · Use/provide common terms o Themes o Introduce, Cite, Explain § PowerPoint · Common outline · Common quote collection sheet · In-Class activities geared around selecting appropriate quotes o Explanation of each theme to ensure understanding – this will aide in the explanation of each quote Resources · Write Source · PowerPoint of explanation · Common graphic organizers o Citation Collection Handout o Outline Processes · Collaboration · Feedback on pre-assessment · Feedback on scaffolded points in the unit o Outline for the Preface where students select quotes and explain how relates each to a thesis.

IF (teacher behavior) - THEN (student behavior)

1. If teachers model how to select appropriate quotes, then students will have a better understanding of choosing citations that apply to a given theme.

2. If teachers use a common outline/graphic organizer, then students will have a model/representation of organizing the explanation of a quote.

3. If teachers provide exemplars of ICE, then students will practice ICE with guidance.

4. If teachers overtly teach the process of introducing a quote, citing a quote, and explaining a quote, then students will independently complete the process correctly.
