Week 15--20 Days to Final Exams--Persuasive Writing!

Hello All!

This week we're focusing once more on Persuasive Writing--again in preparation for the Georgia High School Writing Test you'll take at the beginning of your junior year.

A shortcut to all of the requirements can be found on the blog (or here).  As a reminder, yes, you won't get any Summative credit unless you follow all 5 steps of the Writing Process--you'll either meet the standard or you won't.  The formative grade in Pinnacle is to show which step of the Process you've completed:

20 Points per step. 
  • Prewriting--Short Story Packet page 4
  • Drafting--Handwritten on a sheet of paper
  • Editing--"Get Feedback" on Essay Scorer
  • Revising--Make changes and "Get Feedback" again on Essay Scorer
  • Publishing--turnitin.com

Also, if you want an educated guess on what grade you'll earn on this essay, you can use the following chart based on The Essay Scorer Rubric.

If your essay is scored:
     1-3  Your essay will receive a failing grade.
     4  Your essay will probably receive a C or D.
     5  Your essay will probably receive a B.
     6  Your essay will most likely receive an A.
 
You can do it!  We're in a lab 3 days this week to work on this, so you should have plenty of time!
