Team Urban,
Students continued to RACE respond this week as a group and individually. I know the explanation portion of RACE can be difficult sometimes. The explanation sentence is a statement or two making a connection as to why the evidence supports their answer. Please remember this is still a work in progress and we are working towards mastery. We may not be there yet, but we will continue working on our response to reading in class each week.
