In our time together, students will read four informational passages. They will practice using the six strategies to understand what they read and then paraphrase the text in their own words while avoiding accidental plagiarism.

We follow best practices in designing class time, assignments, and routines. According to Pennington Publishing, effective writing feedback (or grading) is: โข Specific, not general โข Immediate, not postponed โข Routine with a revision / feedback cycle โข Explanatory โข The right amount โข Targeted to the most critical issues โข Varied (written, audio, and video comments) โข Holding students accountable ๐ฉโ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: To see teacher introduction videos, go to the Lemons-Aid profile page where you can view the video and also read bios. https://outschool.com/teachers/Karen-Lemons?usid=0BAnv5zn&signup=true&authTrigger=follow_teacher&follow=true&utm_campaign=share_leader_link
