May 12th Period 1 meeting

Ed Duclos presented a lesson that he uses with his 9th grade English students. The lesson has the students create a self-evaluation of their writing. It was the third and last lesson of the series in which the students posted their writings on their E-Portfolio. The students would evaluate themselves by writing a letter to Ed answering 11 questions that Ed had written for them.
Our group was impressed on how well the lesson was organized and that it tied into the E.R.I.C.K student expectations. Chad Lowd like how clear the objectives of the lesson were and commented that there is an assessment rubric in the eport website that could be a great resource for teachers. Nancy Greco felt that it was a terrific way to reinforce E.R.I.C.K by having it in a handout that the students would be using. Our group also noticed the similarities of student reflections in the different courses offered. Joe Madar thought that included E.R.I.C.K on individual lessons was key to having it be meaningful to our students. We also talked about the importance of reflection on students long term memory and that this type of self evaluation is a great way to achieve it.
