SUMMARY:GEDTS Tuesdays for Teachers: You Can’t Revise and Edit until You Analyze!
DESCRIPTION:GED Testing Service shares that the spotlight is on writing for August’s Tuesdays for Teachers webinar: \n“We’ve talked about grammar skills that students need to write effective sentences. We’ve explored the writing process step-by-step. We’ve modeled and practiced writing effective arguments and claims. We’ve even looked at the GED Extended Response Scoring Tool. BUT… we\, as teachers\, still have problems helping our students write extended responses…and earn points! It may be time for a different approach to the extended response. \n“We are going to take a dive into the essential elements of an effective response: \n\nArguments and evidence\nConnections\, explanations\, details\, and transitions\nSentence structure\, grammar\, and mechanics\n\nHowever\, we are not stopping there. Next stop\, analyzing writing samples. We’ll share with you an Extended Response Checklist that will provide you with a quick way to review your students’ writing samples and identify the good parts and those that need a little (or a lot) of help. Finally\, we will develop a plan for building students’ skills so they can write a response that will make them proud. \n“As always\, there will be time for Questions and Concerns. The session will be recorded and materials posted on the GED website.” \nThis will be followed by a “hot topic” session on the GED & Me official mobile app\, which has been live on the Apple App store since the end of June. “Now with more than 40\,000 downloads\, we’re learning more about mobile app users and how the App is bringing learners back to pursue their credential.  Listen in as we share data and insights about users and how you might want to use the app in your classrooms.” \nRegister here.
