Word Study in Action: Success Criteria

Powerful Words: The Reading/Writing
Connection

Success Criteria
The teacher in this episode plans a writing prompt that will enable the students
to use the powerful words previously selected in their own writing. She explores
vocabulary they might include, and then asks the students to consider success
criteria. She poses the question, "How will you know you have done a good job?"
When students use one of the powerful words in their stories, they cover it
with a sticky note.

What are the advantages of having students participate in identifying
success criteria prior to beginning writing?
