Rationale
As
teachers,
you
will
respond
to
and
evaluate
students
performances
on
a
daily
basis.
How
will
you
make
clear
comments
that
both
support
and
challenge
students?
How
will
you
evaluate
in
ways
that
both
maintain
standards
and
acknowledge
individual
achievement?
How
will
you
use
assessment
to
inform
subsequent
instruction?
Assignment
For
this
assignment,
you
will
use
the
S.W.A.P.
archive
at
http://23.21.225.52/:
this
is
a
collection
of
student
writing
with
and
without
teacher
comments,
with
information
about
the
students
and
the
school
context
provided
by
teachers
at
different
grade
levels
in
different
parts
of
the
country.
Each
option
below
involves
exploring
a
path
through
the
archive
for
a
particular
purpose,
and
then
returning
to
student
writing
you
collected
in
your
field
placement
to
apply
what
youve
learned.
Step
1
Collect
student
writing
at
field
placement
At
some
point
during
your
field
placement,
you
will
collect
a
class
set
of
student
writing.
You
should
do
this
BEFORE
you
teach
your
own
lesson
(as
a
way
to
learn
more
about
the
students).
Step
2
Come
up
with
a
research
question
Generate
a
question
that
will
guide
your
inquiry
into
the
S.W.A.P.
data:
what
do
you
want
to
know
about
responding
to
student
work?
Use
this
question
to
explore
the
archive,
posting
comments
as
you
go.
If
you
prefer,
you
may
choose
one
of
the
questions
Ive
proposed
below
(detailed
versions
of
these
paths
appear
on
the
S.W.A.P.
homepage):
o Option
1
Your
own
question
(you
must
use
at
least
two
scholarly
sourcesthese
might
be
articles
or
books
youve
read
about
writing
pedagogies,
linguistics,
or
teaching
in
another
class).
o Option
2
How
can
a
teacher
design
and
implement
assignments
that
encourage
students
to
meet
standardized
criteria
but
avoid
formulaic
writing?
o Option
3
What
are
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
computerized
grading?
o Option
4
-
How
can
a
teacher
provide
feedback
that
sensitively
takes
into
account
students'
cultural
and
linguistic
backgrounds?
Step 3 Return to the student writing you collected Using what you learned from your research to analyze the student writing. If there is teacher feedback, analyze those comments, as well. If there is no feedback, write your own comments, and explain why you would respond this way to students. Refer to this analysis when you plan and reflect on your own lesson at your field placement.
