Learning Outcomes

 Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Plan

 Students will reflect on where their learning is at and what needs to be done to achieve their learning goals. Assessment results will identify ways to improve the educational environment and enhance student success.  

The Learning Outcomes: Persuade

 Learning Outcome: Identify evidence that shows the author’s purpose to persuade. The student is expected to make inferences about text using textual evidence to support understanding. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts as they become self-directed, critical, readers.  

Learning Outcome: Draw a conclusion about what the author is trying to persuade the reader to do or think. Students use a flexible range of metacognitive reading skills in both assigned and independent reading to understand an author’s message.  

Learning Outcome: Students analyze, make inferences and draw conclusions about the author’s purpose in cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts and provide evidence from the text to support their understanding. Students are expected to identify the topic and explain the author’s purpose in writing the text.
