S. the C.
--As part of today's vocabulary quiz, Mr. Martin is assessing your ability to:
- determine the meaning of a word by using context (e.g., the overall meaning of a sentence and/or a word’s position or function in a sentence) as a clue to the meaning of the word.
- use accurately domain-specific words, sufficient for reading and writing at the college and career readiness level (ALSO ASSESSED VIA WRITING WORKSHOP CLOSURE).
--Today, we will continue working on:
- developing and strengthening writing as needed by revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience.
- writing routinely over extended time frames, including time for reflection and revision.
