Students will continue to work on analyzing writing exemplars to learn more about the writing process using T.I.D.E. as an organizational structure when writing expository and narrative pieces. Additionally, they will work on using a scoring guide to help them learn to evaluate their own work. Students are engaging in collaborative writes at each stage of the writing process. Students are writing in response to texts.
