We used the basic organization of P.I.E. however we really discussed about how the author can persuade, inform and entertain in many different ways. Together, we read the short excerpt on the anchor chart and determined what the author's stated purpose was and how we knew that was the author's purpose. (hint: text evidence) Then I separated them into groups with a different short excerpt and filled out the graphic organizer I created using the information from the short excerpt. The next day, they used a different piece of non-fiction text and completed the same graphic organizer. Why change up what is working? So, for a formative assessment I just had them use the same graphic organizer with a choice non-fiction text on their independent reading level.
One of my goals this year was to create some standard based rubrics, not just rubrics based on our overall units. So I created this rubric based on the TEKS 3.12A. If a student meets the standard proficiency, they will receive a 4 (95). However, if a students goes above and includes the knowledge and skills statement thinking (3.12) then they are exhibiting a higher level of thinking so they can receive a 5 (100). And then it goes down the list from 3-1. You can download a copy of the rubric right below...
