 Expectations for Student Learning 

Demonstrator 2. Teachers communicate consistently high expectations and use common standards for student learning in writing.

 Students know and understand expectations for their work and receive/provide feedback using standards specific language.


Students were given an opportunity to be a part of Operation Gratitude in US History. With that, they chose to write a letter to a veteran with an option for artwork as well.  Below is evidence of letters being written.  You will also find evidence of peer reviews not once but twice and then a final review by me. Student work on this over the course of the month of November with final drafts due by November 25. Evidence includes pictures of peer reviews in writing using a scoring guide, a video of peer review and feedback.  















The opportunity offered is posted on www.operationgratitude.com
