10. Calibration Activity Tips(for a paper w/ an annotation) • For small groups, use chart paper or the whiteboard to tally scores. • For large groups, electronic tallying is more efficient. • The group facilitator should focus the group on justifying their scores with evidence from the student paper. • Spend adequate time trying to reach consensus before sharing annotations. • Be careful not to “double ding.”

11. Calibration Activity Tips • Guiding Questions: • What language on the rubric did you highlight? Why? • What evidence in the student paper led you to that score? • How does the evidence in the student paper relate to common core expectations for the appropriate grade band?
