Grade 8: Analyzing Student Work

To demonstrate how the CAESL Assessment Framework is used, we will apply the framework to the lesson design and expected student work from Unit 2, Grade 8.

Review the CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy writing and reading. Would you choose different standards to help you plan assessment and instruction for the same science lesson? If so, explain why.
