Scribe Post - Wednesday 1/16

Hey guys, happy Wednesday. The week is almost over!

Alright, here was our agenda for the day:

• SSR

20 minutes, as usual.

• EPT Info

                  Rubric

 Okay, so for this, we entered some new information into comp books under Assignment #54. This stuff is REALLY IMPORTANT, so please make sure you wrote it down in your comp books!

This is how the English part of the EAP is going to look:

-One essay (45 minutes), scored from 0-6, 3 or lower is not a college level essay (4 and above means you're college ready!)
-Multiple choice reading comp. (30 minutes), scored from 120 to 180, anything lower than 151 strongly suggests that you will have trouble with college-level reading.
-Multiple choice composing skills (30 minutes), scored from 120 to 180, anything less than 146 with a low essay score will get you 1 semester (or quarter equivalent) of remedial English.

Here are some helpful sites for the EAP tests, try to look them over to see if they can help you:
csuenglishsuccess.org
csumathsuccess.org

Remember, you can only take these tests once. Do the best you possibly can.

After we wrote everything down, we were given two things to put in our comp books. Under new assignment #59, we put the EPT essay rubric, which outlines how all essays are graded. Under new assignment #60, we put a packet of six example essays.

• Group Scoring Practice

For this activity, we used the EPT rubric to score the six example essays with our LC groups. We gave each essay a score from 0-6 based on the rubric.

• Class Discussion

After our groups finished giving out scores, Ortega told us the actual scores for each essay. Hopefully it gave you guys some insight into how your essays will be scored.

That's it for today. Don't forget to write your questions for LC discussion 3 on Friday!
