What is a "Formal Response" anyways?

After writing notes & gathering information, you will frequently be asked  to create a "Formal Response" in Planning 10 with Ms. Echols. Your responses will be marked out of 4.

1= not evident
2= approaching expectations
3= meeting expectations
4= exceeding expectations 


Why do we do these...what's the point?

• Creates deeper understanding
• Important to learn how to interpret information & put into your own words (prevents plagiarism).
• Formal responses are much easier to read/process/mark (your notes can be as messy as you want, as long as you can read them).
• Presentation matters!
• You are creating your own time capsule, "text book for life," that (in theory) you will be able to look back upon years from now.
