In this week’s update, we’ve added a second exemplar responding to the text about climate change from the National Geographic website. 

You can find the new exemplar here and the first exemplar here.

This response is very solid in all criterion.  But by comparing and contrasting this response to the first exemplar, students will notice (hopefully!) a clear difference between the two.  This response isn’t as nuanced as the first one and doesn’t notice the subtleties in the text as much. 

That’s okay!  It still does a lot right and for many students, writing to this level is a huge success!

As always, we hope you and your students (who get free student access) find these exemplars useful.  And there are more to come in November and December.  

Best,

Tim and David
