TELPAS Writing Sample

Bell Ringer:

Continuing our review using Kahoots.  I believe I am seeing some success with decimal place value and volume!!

Each year, we are asked to procure two writing samples from our ELL (English Language Learners) from their math class.  Before, I have used prompts that weren't interesting and were hard to read.  Things like, explain how to solve a long division problem....  think about that....  would you want to have to do that?!?!

So, this year, I found two prompts that I like.  Here is the first one:



I also included a web for brainstorming ideas.  I suggested they look through their math journal and think about what they have been working on in Think Through Math and Khan Academy.
