AICE International: Paper 1 Part A Writing Workshop (Ch 1.3)

Item description

Welcome!

• This writing workshop is for AICE International.

• The sources go with Chapter 1.3 – Japan emerges as a World Power.

This writing workshop can be combined with my AICE History Paper 1 Part A Mini Lesson to create a days long unit on how to address SBQ writing on Paper 1.

Need to differentiate or provide accommodations?  This resource comes with a scaffolded version to guide students through the source analysis.  It also provides students with 1 similarity & 1 difference that students then need to PROVE by finding appropriate quotes & staying focused on answering the prompt.  (There are also less scaffolded worksheets / google documents for your higher performing students). 

Limits or Challenges to copying?  This resource can be left entirely digital or use a combination of digital and paper copies.  Each assignment (scaffolded or not) has separate google documents for print and digital options.  

The best part?  Detailed answer keys for each assignment and version are provided.  There is also a rubric for teacher use to assess students essays.  The rubric is customizable and is from Cambridge (as well as the prompt, sources, & key).  Need to stay digital? There is a google sheets rubric that will upload nicely to your google classroom.  **NOTICE** The digital rubric has self-assessment directions to help students double check their work for key rubric requirements. 

What’s Included?:

Separate Digital and Printable versions of:

1. Writing Activity with detailed KEY 
2. Scaffolded Activity with detailed KEY
3. Essay Lines w/ Prompt for student use *Notice* the printable essay does not have a self-assessment category.
4. Rubric for Teacher Use (editable & printable)
5. Essay with self-assessment directions for students (editable & should work nicely with google classroom)
6. Rubric for Teacher Use (editable & should would nicely with google classroom) [If you wish to edit out the self-assessment part of this digital activity you can do so once you add the rubric to your google classroom assignment]
7. Teacher suggestions for timing & accommodations

This assignment could take you up to 3 days depending on how much support and guidance you give your students. If you combine with Paper 1 Part A Mini Lesson this could easily take you a week. Take away some support/class discussions and keep it to a few days.

Thank you for stopping by!
