Performance Based-Assessment Prep
Review Evidence for an Argument
Point out to students that collecting evidence
during Independent Learning is the last step in
completing their Evidence Log. After they finish
their independent reading, they will synthesize all
the evidence they have compiled in the unit.
The evidence students collect will serve as the
primary source of information they will use to
complete the writing and oral presentation for
the Performance-Based Assessment at the end of
the unit.
