As I continue to grade more tests I am anticipating more questions. I am quite pleased with so many of your tests and the number of students who have done well. Yet, I'm certain there will be others who may not be pleased with how the assessment was graded. Please feel free to email, text or call me if you wish to discuss any of your answers.
I'm certain that most of the questions will center around how the "compare and contrast" questions were answered. Some of you may wish to share here how you understood or approached those questions as many of you identified the similarities and differences very specifically and succinctly while others simply described material and presented facts.
It may be of benefit to discuss the importance of words such as explain, describe, compare, contrast, define, list, summarize, support with evidence, identify, etc. and how academic vocabulary is critical in both classroom settings as well as in "the real world."
