Example of Student Growth (5th Grade)

  • Before → unclear, repetitive, weak explanation

  • After → clear structure, stronger reasoning, organized ideas

  • Current school start times leave out just enough time for after school sports and play. School sports are important for teamwork. Teamwork is important because it will be easier for other people and you to get different opinions on things and learn strategies with other people. If students don’t engage in school sports, they won’t learn teamwork. Therefore, school should start at the same times so students have enough time for sports where students learn to work stronger together.

  • Current school start times provide enough time for after-school sports and activities. School sports help students develop teamwork skills. Teamwork is important because players must communicate and work together to create strategies and achieve a common goal. If students don’t participate in school sports, they may miss opportunities to build these skills. Therefore, schools should maintain their current start times so students have time to engage in sports and learn how to work effectively with others.

Case Study - Okiki


How Okiki went from repeating evidence to explaining why it matters.


THE PROBLEM

Okiki could locate evidence from a text, but his reasoning often repeated what happened instead of explaining why the evidence supported his claim.


THE GOAL

Strengthen analytical writing by helping him move beyond summarizing the text and begin explaining the significance of his evidence.


WORK COMPLETED

Over several months, we focused on:

✅ Distinguishing between claims, evidence, and reasoning

✅ Identifying the difference between repeating evidence and explaining evidence

✅ Developing stronger analytical thinking

✅ Elaborating on ideas without adding unsupported information

✅ Connecting evidence back to the original claim

✅ Revising responses for clarity and deeper explanation

BEFORE

Students were given the claim and evidence. Their task was to write the reasoning.

Claim: Harriet Tubman showed intelligence and courage.

Evidence: Tubman used disguises, escape plans, and safe houses.

Okiki's Original Reasoning:

This shows that she used multiple ways to assist people in escaping from the slave owners, while making sure not to get caught by them, or else she would have been punished.

AFTER

After instruction and revision, Okiki expanded his explanation instead of simply repeating the evidence.

Okiki's Revised Reasoning:

This shows she was determined because she used multiple ways to assist people in escaping instead of escaping herself without anyone else's help. She used other people's help because if she didn't communicate with other people, she wouldn't have known what to do. By planning this carefully, she made sure not to get caught, or else she would have been punished.


THE OUTCOME

Okiki began moving beyond simply restating information from the text and started explaining why the evidence supported the claim. His writing became more analytical as he learned to connect actions, character traits, and consequences through clearer reasoning.
