IR - November

Updated Friday, November 9, 2007, at 5:09 PM

For November, a student must complete at least two Reading On Demand Assessments from their independent reading. A student may complete only one RODA from each learning target. A student is encouraged to complete one RODA from all four learning targets, meaning that student will complete a total of four Reading On Demand Assessments.

The book(s) you use for your independent reading November work must appear on an IR log in the month of November.

The RODA must completed in class during study time, advisory, or a study club.

Download the RODA, type in the needed information, and print the assessment. Write the assessment response with a #2 pencil. Click on model to see how LT09C should look before printing it.

When providing the supporting details, write the page number from your independent reading book in parenthesis after the sentence with the concrete detail. This is the page number from the book that contains the supporting detail a student is discussing.

Note the lines for the response have been deleted. Because these assessments come from a student's independent reading, it will be necessary for the student to provide more elaborate details and explanations to help the instructor evaluate the assessment.

Students may complete these RODAs any time during the month of November. The last day to accept a November Independent Reading RODA will be Friday, November 30.
