Many solid student writers score a “zero” on their ECR because they don’t fully address the prompt. In this session, participants will explore analyzing ECR prompts, “flipping” the prompts to craft a thesis/central idea, and using the flipped prompt as a lens for reading the text and answering the prompt effectively.
Some students are able to select text evidence that supports an idea and explain in detail why the evidence supports the idea. Others can select the evidence, but they struggle to articulate and contextualize it. This session will focus on activities to support selecting and explaining relevant text evidence.
