This is the last "formal" lesson Pam teaches regarding expectations for the weekly reading response journal entries she requires. After this lesson, students will be expected to try their hands at reflecting on their reading through the writing process.
Pam introduces the scoring rubric to assess a response she has written. She promotes understanding by asking students to dig into the rubric, asking "What is the difference between a 3 and a 4?" She inspires them to go for it by ending with, "There is no reason why you can't get a 4".
We appreciate Pam's teaching, high expectations and belief in each child's potential to achieve. You may notice a few changes to the rubric, from the video. Pam updated this rubric after the video was shot. Enjoy her newest thinking!
