**Analysis of Student Work**
//(In class assignment)//


 * You will complete this assignment in a small group during class
 * I will provide the samples of student work (each group will receive a different set of projects to examine)
 * Use the questions on the attached assignment sheet to guide your personal analysis of the samples you examine, as well as your conversation with your colleagues about the samples
 * Take turns "presenting" one of the samples to your group as though it were your own work. One of the other people in your group should pretend to be the "teacher" and provide feedback. The remaining members of your group will serve as silent observers during the role play, and will comment on what they observed during the "student-teacher" interaction as though they were your mentors following the role play
