Our team of 7th grade teachers is responsible for targeting
a group of about 15 students who performed poorly on the
written portion of ISATs (Illinois Standards Achievement
Test).

We need to come up with a way to pre-assess them, create an
intervention, and track progress. We're confused because
there are so many different forms of writing. We decided to
focus on writing a paragraph that contains a topic
sentence, details and a closing sentence---something that
sounds easy, but a lot of kids aren't doing this!

Can anyone offer a way that we can track progress? Or offer
any other suggestions if you don't think the basic
paragraph is the way to go. Thanks!!
