This 18-ish minute video walks them through a simple rubric, asking them to improve MY essay by looking through notes on astronauts to come up with a main idea.

The directions on the ELA CAASPP Performance Task can be soooo long and repetitive that I find kids don't often read them, certainly not in their entirety! So this video is to make sure that our students know what the ELA performance task expects of them, and we formulate a plan of attack as we read the directions together. (We also take a look at the available tools as I model scanning the sources and questions before beginning to take notes.)There is a thinksheet to help students stay engaged
