Accountability Teamwork Step 1: Individually read and reflect with the LEQ rubric on your Period 3 Exam LEQ and how it was scored. Use the post it notes provided to write down anything about the rubric and your score that you don’t understand. Post these on top of my desk in the back of the room.

Accountability Teamwork Step 2: New (cleaner) Rubric Review the newer version of the rubric as a group. Whole class reflection

Accountability Teamwork Step 3: Group LEQ plan and response Review the prompt Plan deductively Whole group writes thesis Answer the question, take a position, develop categories of analysis Whole group contextualizes the argument Whole group writes the first paragraph of the essay response

Accountability Teamwork Step 4: Divide the group into your categories Each of the categorical groups plans and writes a paragraph using the core structure for that one paragraph.

Accountability Teamwork Step 5 Whole group comes together and shares their bodied paragraph Checklist Is the group using the core structure? Is the group defending a thesis/topic sentence? Is the group going to be awarded at least one point for the evidence and one point for the analysis? Is the group going to potentially receive one additional point for evidence and one additional point for analysis?

Accountability Teamwork Step 6 Combine the bodied paragraphs with the thesis. Whole group writes a conclusion. Does the group still need the second REASONING point? If so, use the conclusion to display the complex understanding that you need for the point. Synthesis Both parts of the reasoning skill Alternative points of view
