Summarizing

Use the technique: S, W, B, S, T

Teach techniques!

http://wvde.state.wv.us/strategybank/Somebody-Wanted-But-So.html




Somebody Wanted But So

The Big Bad Wolf Pigs for dinner They hid in the brick house. He went hungry.

Anne Frank To hide from the Nazis Someone turned her in She died in a concentration camp.

Adolf Hitler To control all of Europe The Allies fought against him He killed himself when Germany was defeated.

Christopher Columbus To sail to India to buy spices He ran into the Caribbean Islands He claimed the area for Spain.

Thomas Edison To invent the incandescent lightbulb

His lightbulb blackened (the Edison effect)

It later led to the electron tube, the basis of the electronics

industry

Stephen Hawking To be a mathematician His father wanted him to be a chemist

He combined science and math to study black holes in

the universe.


C.A.S.K.

Summarizing

S, W, B, S, T leads to SKILLED paraphrasing, this eliminates copy/paste

Summarizing is a TOP 5 way to raise scores - Marzano


C.A.S.K.

Key quotes

Require a “key quote” from an article

Require them to be noted as first or third person

Key quotes are a kind of summary

Key quotes are a State Standard

Project Based Grading


It’s a PROCESS; Teach it.

Milestones

Teach it step by step.


Note taking / Fact gathering Segment

Milestones

Provide valid research point or sites - A Custom Google Search?Battleship Div 9

Grade notes, have them stored in Evernote

Have a “notes” due date

Paraphrasing

Milestones

Teach S, W, B, S, T to help prevent plagarism(suspicious? Google a sentence)

Use Grammarly.com to self correct

Have them do a “narrative” before the final project commences

Give the narrative a grade, have a due date


Graphix

Milestones

The last phase

Make sure the pics are authentic and sourced

Teach them to use things other than Google, it lowers the accuracy

Only one or two pics per slide or segment,they will try to jam you with graphics

Require a subtitle per slide


We have to “uncondition” the students from failure. They have been in “the suck” for years.


Minarets HSGrading Policies

Systematic SuccessWe all need to play the same game.

Updated for 2012-13


Minarets HSFresh Grades

For teachers: Routine and Fresh Grades DailyUse paper to collect them quickly

Make up work should be marked "collected" immediately• Grade on events and milestones

Project = notes, narrative, initial completion and preso

Stale grades deny kids feedback AND don't reward finishing


Minarets HSNo Extra Credit

Extra credit devalues being sharp and on time.Extra credit means things can be late.

Extra credit means grade inflation.

Being on time counts!


Minarets HSNo Extra Credit

If a student misses a deadline, there will be a negative result.

Are extra points possible?

Yes, kids can get extra points for being done EARLY ON THE NEXT project.

Let's teach them being on time counts!


Minarets HSLate Work

Late work needs to be late.When we extend deadlines we don't

teach kids one of the most important lessons: Being done ahead of time.

You can't be good at something if it's always last minute.


Minarets HSLate Work

An assignment that misses a deadline gets a maximum of 70%

70% IS THE MAXIMUM FOR LATE WORKLate assignments can get a 50% or a 60%

The lessons still count, and matter, but they are late.


Minarets HSWork-based mentality

Not everyone will get an A.

But everyone can work.

And everyone can grow.

And everyone needs to learn to be industrious


Minarets HS

No "Write-Offs"

You Have to Do ALL the Work

Do you owe 20? Do 20

All the lessons matter.


Let’s NOT study


Let’s OWNthe Learning
