Rotation B:
7. Review this scoring rubric to make sure your paragraph meets the criteria for success:
| 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| description of the scene in the text | the scene is accurately and vividly described, as it occurs in the book | there are several details from the book included | details are lacking or inaccurate |
| use of direct quote from the text | a relevant, correctly-cited quote from the book makes the description clear | the direct quote is incorrectly cited or is unclear or imprecise in purpose | missing a direct quote, or irrelevant to the content of the paragraph |
| inferring the meaning of events in the text | clear, well-explained, and reasonable interpretation of the scene from the book | the meaning of the scene is explained | an explanation of the meaning of the scene is missing, confusing, or incorrect |
| use of evidence from online source | relevant, correctly-cited, and paraphrased information from an online source makes the interpretation clear and effective | information from online source(s) make it easier to understand the interpretation; may be cited incorrectly or not at all | evidence is lacking or plagiarised, or it does not clearly relate to the content of the paragraph |
| use of conventions and professionalism | neat and pleasing to read, with strong use of conventions (capitalization, punctuation, spelling, grammar) | contains errors but the writing is still easy to read | contains many errors in capitalization, punctuation, spelling, grammar, or formatting |
8. Partners Revise/Edit Analysis
- Rotate desks.
- Read partner's analysis paragraph.
- Rate partner's analysis paragraph using rubric.
- Provide one (or more) strength and one (or more) area for growth.
- Repeat steps #1-4 twice more.
9. Revise Analysis Paragraph to Improve Use of Evidence:
- Improve your description of the fates from The Lightning Thief.
- Include a direct quote from the novel in your paragraph.
- Cite the source by adding the author's name (Riordan) and the page number in parentheses after the quoted text.
- example: In The Lightning Thief, Percy said, "Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood" (Riordan 1).
- In your analysis, you need to include factual information from online sources.
- Paraphrase this information (put it in your own words).
- Do not just copy and paste from the source.
- Cite the source by adding the name of the source in parentheses after the paraphrased information.
- example: The fates did not determine the destiny of the gods; they fulfilled what Zeus told them to do (Encyclopedia Britannica).
- If you need to access the research sources again, you can find them here:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (username: kippbayview, password: ligers)
- Encyclopedia Mythica
- Godchecker
- Disney Wiki
- videos: here (informational), here (Barbie-style), and here (from Disney's Hercules)
- Edit by ensuring that the author has:
- written in complete sentences
- used academic vocabulary and tone
- indented the paragraph
- correctly spelled and capitalized all names: Percy, Grover, Mr. Brunner
- underlined or italicized the book title: The Lightning Thief
- put quotation marks around both sides of direct quotes
- included the page number of the direct quote
- Mr. T says, "Put words directly from the book in quotation marks, and be careful with punctuation marks!" (118).
- included the name of all online sources (in parentheses after the information)
