The second part of the Written Expression subtest consisted of sentence building, which had Madison listen to a targeted word read to them and then was asked to write a sentence using the word in the correct context. The sentence building showed that Madison was in the low range compared to students at her age. The first targeted word that was given to Madison to use in a sentence was the word “the”. Madison was able to use this word in a sentence using correct context, semantics and grammar. Madison wrote the sentence “The cat and dog ran”. Madison was able to successfully write a sentence using a subject and a predicate. Madison’s strengths in this subtest showed that she was able to show that she understands that each sentence begins with
However, since I was successful in this lab course, it would not be until Winter Quarter when I fully recognized this flaw in Writing 39B. Enduring my chaotic and unproductive process of writing the Rhetorical Analysis Essay and Rhetoric in Practice Final Project has greatly influenced and improved the way I conduct my writing process in general. The specifics of my writing process and how it has evolved will be expanded upon in the following chapter. In the end, learning the importance of having an efficient drafting process and starting my assignments in a timely manner has improved my performance in my other classes; especially lab. I now start my lab reports earlier, focusing on making them more organized, detailed, and well-written.
Janetta has a goal of construct well-written sentences. To assess this goal, I would use a formative assessment. First, I would use a choral response to review what parts must be in a sentence. Once we have reviewed what makes up a sentence, I will have Janetta give examples and non-examples of sentences. If she is having difficulty with this, I will present Janetta with examples and non-examples, modeling how to write a sentence with five words including capitalization and punctuation.
Entry #2: Date and Time: Friday, February 17, 2017, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (3 hours) Task/Activity: Students in both classes started off the class by taking their weekly spelling test. Following this, both classes examined prose-constructed responses completed by fellow students (although responses were kept anonymous). Students would then work in groups to grade the response according to PARCC standards.
When speaking, she uses conjunctions and singular nouns. The student can understand simple directions such as sitting down and writing her name. The student is learning basic knowledge and will need more time to grasp the first-grade concepts. The second-grade students are developing grade level standards in reading, speaking and listening. The students are reading out loud which will improve their comprehension and reading accuracy.
Slowly, I started to improve, but my growth was most evident in the daily sentence writing, where the class then graded each other’s writing on a scale from one to five. Halfway throughout the year, during December, I tried to construct the best sentence possible; after a couple minutes, I
Given the rigorous nature and experiences associated with this college-level course, it can only benefit my academic standing and intellectual abilities. Overall, this course will emphasize the importance of being able to express insightful, meaningful details in my writing and speeches. In summary, I
All in all, Beth demonstrates GrA5 of the NLLP and F-Level 2 of the Victorian Curriculum, where it states the well-usage of simple and compound sentences as well as adverbial
On October 13, I observed the second grade reading and grammar classroom of Mrs. Turner at Elkhorn City Elementary. The students were sitting at tables with their attention directed towards the smart board. They were instructed to begin their D.O.L., or daily oral learning activity, led by the teacher. The smart board was pulled up to where you could see Mrs. Turner writing on her own notebook paper as to visually walk them through heading up their papers and the correct format of sentences. The D.O.L. consisted of five sentences, each with two grammatical mistakes they were to fix.
Throughout the course of one’s education, the importance of reading and writing is emphasized very early on. Children learn to recognize and construct letters of the alphabet before grade school even begins. Kindergarten is where the first stages of word development start and from that point forward, the rules of writing are given emphasis. From simple guidelines such as the difference between nouns and verbs to more complex theories including rhetorical strategies and proper essay formatting, students are expected to keep up with the new levels of writing year by year and not one person misses out. As a student that has been in the public school system since the beginning, my writing experience has been extensive, full of countless rules and guidelines, and highly criticized, but could always use some more work.
Nicholas was soon under Miss.Hurd’s spell. Miss. Hurd taught the class how to put out a newspaper, skills he honed during his next 25 years as a journalist. Soon i asked the principal to transfer me to her english class as well. In her class she drilled them on grammar until he finally began to understand the logic and structure of English language.

The why (definitions were provided, but his is insufficient permit learning to occur. To avoid this trap the presenters suggest three actions: 1. Clarify the differences
This chapter gave me flashbacks of high school English classes. Looking back, I can see that my English teachers struggled to teach us and model the writing process.
Susan’s present academic performance for reading and writing shows that she has yet to master tasks at a third grade reading level, such as decoding words and making cognitive connections with text. However, she can recognize ten sight words, and can use pictures to help her read modified text. The use of Mayer-Johnson symbols and rebus books have allowed her to build further understanding of classroom topics, and create a visual schedule to help her keep track of tasks or events. Susan knows her colors as well as shapes, and can label images. Though, due to limited fine motor skills, her writing abilities are under developed; which makes writing assignments difficult for her.
My composition skills have been developing as we have progressed through the challenges in this class. The “sentence of the week” exercise provided a different topic each week to practice our grammer. Like weekly weeding and tending to a garden, it helped us to better develop and reinforce our skills. Like a garden, our skills needed
