Evidence-based Response Rubrics, Citing Evidence Rubrics

By Queen's Educational Resources

This resource is also included in the following discounted Bundles:

  • Evidence Graphic Organizers and Rubrics BUNDLE
  • ELA/SEL MEGA BUNDLE

*******************************

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

Citing Evidence Rubrics

16 pages

Suitable for Grades 5-12

PDF and Editable Versions

This resource includes:

4 Evidence-Based Response Rubrics (in two variations – totaling 8 rubrics!)

*******************************

Citing evidence is an important skill that students MUST master to demonstrate credibility, proficiency, and sense of eloquence. This resource includes four rubrics that capture students’ level of mastery when using evidence. These rubrics evaluate students’ abilities to support their ideas, inferences, claims, and/or responses with relevant text evidence. It also evaluates the strength and thoroughness of their explanations/analysis of evidence.

All 8 Rubric pages are EDITABLE for you to adjust and modify to meet your needs!

The four rubrics come in two different variations (totaling 8 rubrics):

Variation #1: The FOUR rubrics are created individually on one page and includes a “Comments/Feedback” section for you to complete.

Variation #2: The same FOUR rubrics are minimized to two (of the same rubric) on one page without the “Comments/Feedback” section.

Please note, the editable version does not contain the same fonts and borders that are in the PDF version because they are copyrighted materials by contributing clip art artists. The editable version has been created using Times New Roman fonts to ensure full and complete access of the rubrics without any formatting issues. Additionally, I replaced some of the copyrighted clip art with “free to use” clip art! You may modify the fonts and add your own clip art and borders as you wish!

Programming in Scratch 2: Looks Blocks

By Howlin' Husky Math Games

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. Scratch is a really easy to learn language to learn which makes it perfect for beginners. Block based coding looks very simple at first, but it is just as intricate as a keyed language. The difference is that coders don't need to memorize complex syntax to use it. This makes it perfect for younger kids; but it's still complex enough for older students.

This is part 2 of a semester long programming in Scratch course.

Topics:

Programming in Scratch 2: Looks Block

  • Looks Blocks
  • The costumes tab and menu
  • Effects
  • Backdrops and the Stage

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow

A pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!

an answer key in pdf form

Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught lesson or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

They then describe how they can improve as we begin the next Marking Period. Reflection sheets are also included in case your school uses Quarters or Trimesters.

Sentence Diagramming Bell Ringers: Weeks 1-16 BUNDLE

By Ms. J's ELA

These sentence diagramming bell ringers will last four full months. This bundle contains sixteen Google Slide presentations- one for each week. There is also an assessment for the end of week four, the end of week seven, the end of week twelve, and the end of week 16 to test student knowledge. The daily activities should last 5-10 minutes. EVERYTHING IS EDITABLE.

THIS BUNDLE COVERS:

- Subject

- Predicate / Verb

- Helping Verbs

- Articles

- Adjectives

- Adverbs

- Prepositions

- Adjectival Prepositional Phrases

- Adverbial Prepositional Phrases

- Coordinating Conjunctions

- Compound Sentences

- Compound Subjects and Predicates

- Compound Adjectives and Adverbs

- Compound Prepositional Phrases

- Linking Verbs

- Predicate Adjectives

- Predicate Nominatives

- Transitive Verbs

- Direct Objects

- Indirect Objects

Answers are included for all diagrams.

Sentence diagramming is so helpful when teaching students parts of speech and sentence structure. The repetitiveness of diagramming for a bell ringer is extremely beneficial for students. I tried grammar workbooks for years, but my students hardly retained anything. Daily sentence diagramming made them remember their parts of speech, and was an amazing foundation for my students to have when we started forming different types of sentences. They picked up on fixing run-ons quickly as well because of their diagramming foundation.
