Data Updates

Sentence Fluency
My Sentence Fluency group is by far my largest group.  These are the first three lessons that I've completed with these students.  I am beginning to pull lessons from Culham's (2003) Six Traits book, which is basically the text to refer to, as Culham (2003) began this research way back when.  I'm curious to determine if there is more significant gains (or not) by using multiple sources of lessons, versus just sticking with one book. 

 I realize these are somewhat difficult to see, and I apologize.  The numbers on the x axis represent each participant involved with the sentence fluency lessons.  (If you see a blank, it is because that particular student is not in the sentence fluency group).  I also want to point out that the first and second lessons were out of 3, whereas the third lesson was scored on a 0-4 scale.  Furthermore, the students have not yet applied these skills, but I am going to have them do that prior to beginning another round of three lessons.

Word Choice
My word choice group, though smaller, has been enjoyable because I feel like I've gotten closer with them (simply because the group is smaller in size).  I apologize for the lack of data here.  Due to the snow days, I am missing some of my students' work and I didn't want to create a half analyzed table.  So, below is the first lesson that involved figurative language.

Again, if the students aren't seen with a bar, it is due to the fact that they are not involved within this group!

What I am struggling with at this time is still my amount of snow days and the lacking amount of data that I have.  I am curious to determine if or how my kiddos apply these lessons within to a piece of writing, rather than just within these lessons.
