Three-sentence essays allow students to synthesize their learning and teachers to efficiently monitor student progress. In their three-sentence essays, students are asked to do the following:
Claim it—claim the big ideas
Cite it—cite the information for those ideas
Clarify it—explain how it all works together to present a message
Idea from Ms. Christy Reasons, a 12th grade ELA teacher in Shelby County, Tennessee.
