In the article “Give a Penny – Save the Day” it states,“Students from every grade brought in bags and jars of pennies, and, with everyone’s assistance, they raised over $3,000 in one week!”(Waterhouse, paragraph 1) . This example shows how pennies can mean much more than what they’re worth, and they can help people from all around the world even though they are small, since small amounts add up. Another example from the article“The Ever-Changing Penny” declares,“The History of a penny reveals more than just a coin – it exposes a piece of American culture.","cbCaivufyikbP4OK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivufyikbP4OK","pdf",225961,10,"English","# Understanding\n## Focus Standards\n## 4-Point Argumentative Performance Task Writing Rubric (Grades 6–11)","[{\"question\":\"What focus standards are included for Grade 8?\",\"answer\":\"The materials list Grade 8 standards W.8.1b,d; W.8.4; W.8.5; W.8.8; W.8.9; and L.8.3.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the rubric define the highest score level?\",\"answer\":\"The 4-point level requires thorough, convincing elaboration with reasoned, in-depth analysis and effective integration of source evidence, clear citations/attribution, strong elaborative techniques, appropriate vocabulary, and style that enhances content.\"},{\"question\":\"What makes a response qualify for the NS/insufficient category?\",\"answer\":\"NS includes responses that are insufficient because of copied text, use of a language other than English, off-topic content, or off-purpose responses.\"}]","Student Samples - Grade 8 Argumentative Performance Task Writing Rubric | PDF",1790080616]
