OVERVIEW OF STRATEGY 2

Strategy 2: Use Sample Work

Analyze Student Work Together

• Provide examples of both strong and weak work to students.
• Engage students in analyzing the samples using the scoring guide to determine appropriate and inappropriate responses.
• Ask students to justify their analysis.

Students will understand best what a goal really means when they can see examples of good work.
