Today our class met in Mrs. Bone's classroom. At the beginning of class the students were given 15 minutes to vote for the "Who's Who" yearbook page. Then the students were divided into groups of 4. I went over the AP scoring guide for the sample timed writing question they looked at yesterday. Then I gave each group 4 sample student papers. They were asked to read each sample and score it based on the scoring guide. We then came back as a whole group and the students shared what they gave each paper and why using evidence from the scoring guide.
