Seven 8th grade students were given the Proficiency in Sentence Writing Pretest on Feb. 1, 2018. Majority of students wrote nonsense sentences. Describe, Verbal, and Model Stages were also completed on 2/16, 2/19, and 2/27. SIM coach, Julie Herzog, co-constructed a frame using the selected prompt regarding the "Advantages of Saving your Own Money to Buy Something Special." I observed this lesson. The students used this frame in a mock writing practice for the SOL that I led them in later on that week. The students have practiced using the frame as a prewriting tool to plan and execute their ideas in response to a writing prompt.

Several are working on their 3rd and 4th practice sheets but their grades are improving each time. 2 students reached mastery of 90% and have moved on to the 2 series sheets. One of those 2 students reached 90% and will advance into the 3 series on Thursday.
