SOAPS Example

If you still are wondering how to strengthen your SOAPS, here is one from Ogechi on our last class-wide article.  Ogechi SOAPS . If you missed yesterday's conference, please know that I will NO LONGER ALLOW SOAPS and SUMMARY Resubmits as of March 13th.   I have provided examples, the rubric, and a lesson on "Whats Wrong with the Following SOAPS" in which you turned and talked about the problems of vague language and pronouns.
Lastly, I did not post anything today.   All teachers must log in for a faculty meeting today at 3.  After that meeting, I will begin to grade non-digital (paper) assignments that I was backlogged on.   I do hope all are well.
