- Students looked back over the Narrative Rubric, the Mars & The Moon passages, and the prompt that goes with the passages. Then, they read three separate student responses. Finally, they were given the TNReady score and the explanations as to how / why those papers received that score for each section.
- Students reviewed plot / plot diagrams. Then, we watched a short video called "Learn the Plot Diagram by Comparing Superhero Movies." Finally, they watched a short clip from Bao and labeled the different details that went with each of the five sections of the plot diagram. (Plot overview - "Narrative Essay Plot" PPT)
