💬 Advice and answers
|
|
|
How can I share rubrics with my students?
Start by sending your students their AWE scores and the rubric. Your students will only see the AWE scores you share with them and you can stop sharing scores at any time.
- Go to Classwork.
- Navigate to the class and activity with the AWE scores you want to share.
- Review student scores to determine whether to override any before sending.
- Click Share Rubric Scores.

How do I use Skills Modules?
You can supplement the core curriculum and target areas of need by using Amplify ELA’s Skill Modules. Skill Modules are organized into three categories: Vocabulary Modules, which focus on skills such as context clues and morphology; Text Analysis Modules, which provide direct instruction around concepts like theme, literary elements, and structure; and Writing Modules, which deliver instruction on focus, use of evidence, and conventions. Use these modules to review or reteach topics and skills in small targeted groups. Access them by clicking the Skills Modules button in the Program and Apps menu.
