StandardsWQ5-Tasks

<<previous |

Part of the move from local to Common Core State Standards involves encouraging the teaching of writing across the content areas. That means that not only English teachers, but Social Studies and Science teachers would also teach, assign, and evaluate writing. To help teachers do this, the "Literacy Design Collaborative" (sponsored by the Gates Foundation) has developed "template tasks." These are writing assignments with gaps for teachers to fill in specifics for their discipline, curriculum, and unit goals.

Below are some template tasks and accompanying rubrics. What do you think? Post to discussion forum.
