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!
