Distribute sticky notes. Tell students to use these to identify evidence in their work from the unit of their progress toward each criterion.
Tell students the sticky notes are for them to find evidence of the following criteria:
– SL.6.1a: Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence on the topic, text, or issue to probe and reflect on ideas under discussion.
– SL.6.1b: Follow rules for collegial discussions, set specific goals and deadlines, and define individual roles as needed.
Guide students through completing question 1 of the Track Progress form. If this is the first time students have completed this form, they may not be able to answer this question. In this situation, tell students to leave it blank, and explain that next time they fill out the same form, they should be able to answer this question. If students completed these forms in Grade 5, they may look back to their Grade 5 forms.
