Collecting Data
Students wrote Quick Writes throughout reading Romeo and
Juliet. Their responses followed the ACEC format. I posed
comprehensive questions on the ELMO for students to respond
to based o their reading. Students were evaluated on their
ability to follow the model provided. These paragraphs were
graded on a 10 point scale. I also tracked the length of their
paragraphs by counting the sentences in each one.
