Writer's Notebook: Would you rather have more time or more money? Students responded to the question, then completed a form and handed in their notebooks.

I returned Short Answer Practice 1, and we used the STAAR rubric to discuss what a good short answer looks like. Students read a poem and responded to a short answer question. We read and scored student samples. We will complete the same activity tomorrow with a crossover question.
