Assess student’s prior knowledge by reviewing a quickwrite and taking anecdotal notes during a debate to answer the Essential Question, Is more ever enough? Chart student responses to key story elements, such as language, point of view, plot devices, symbolism, and other narrative features, to assess understanding during class discussions. Review student journals throughout the unit and provide feedback or additional instruction as necessary. Schedule individual conferences during the writing process and ask students to provide feedback to each other using the peer feedback form.

Review the writing rubric and the assessment scoring guide with students before they start project work to help guide them through the writing process and ensure they understand the assessment criteria. Use the same scoring guide to assess the final parallel stories and presentations. Review final reflections to the Unit Question, How can stories like The Pearl help me understand more about myself? focusing on students’ abilities to make connections between what they have learned and their own lives.
