Something that went wrong before, corrected — the lesson avoids the format that failed.
A real run through the product — the lesson, its materials and its adaptation, exactly as the teacher received them.
Matched from the objective against Ohio’s own standards — the teacher didn’t pick these.
Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; recognize when irrelevant evidence is introduced.
