Practice evidence Work page where students will submit their evidence of work. This allows students to choose what they need to work on during independent work time to be most successful.  This is a great place for students to Use the BTC framework of Check your Understanding. In my classroom it is refered to as your menu evidence because students have a menu of choices to practice proficiency.

This Langage and Content Objective is posted daily on each of the team whiteboards. It hangs all year and serves the purpose of having my objectives posted, while still allowing students do use discovery to uncover the lesson each day.
