Desired Results--What do we want students to know and do?

Essential Standard(s)- Demonstrate rhetorical flexibility through writing and revising a variety of texts in multiple genres and for a variety of
college-level audiences and purposes. Students should reflect upon the writing process and themselves as writers.

Learning Target(s)/Objective(s) in Student Friendly Language-

I can demonstrate rhetorical flexibility through writing and revising of the “This I Believe” Narrative Paper.
I can reflect upon the writing process and myself as a writer.

Evidence-How will we know they learned?

Assessment(s) of Learning Targets-Formative and Summative

Formative: Students will participate in Peer Review with peers and will be allowed to revise their papers before submitting the polished draft.

Summative: Narrative Paper- For this assignment, you will write your own “This I Believe” essay. Consider a specific moment when you formed a
belief or a previous belief of yours was tested or changed. Then, write a narrative essay sharing your experience and your belief. Consider your “I
believe” statement your thesis and your experience, the evidence. For this exercise to be meaningful, you must make it wholly your own.
