What does commentary have to do with narrative? Before scholars explain the narrative choices in their Character Confessionals, they review provided commentary to explain the score they received on previous assessments. They review learning targets as a class before using the T-chart from lesson two to take the assessment.

Instructional Ideas

  • During the Peer Critique stage, have  students read their partners' responses aloud before writing the feedback
  • Model the Commentary on Confessional using the sample response from the previous lesson

Classroom Considerations

  • Third of four lessons in the Grade 8 ELA Module 2B, Unit 3
  • Lesson flow assumes the completion of scoring and written feedback for both the End of Unit 2 and Mid-Unit 3 Assessments and then shared for the first time

Pros

  • Includes strategies for keeping track of questions pupils may have about their feedback
  • Prepares a mentor response for the Commentary on Confessional assessment 

Cons

  • None
