Formative assessment using E/I note takers:

The E/I note taker can be a natural place to check in on student progress. What kinds of evidence-based evidence are students pulling out? What are students calling evidence? What kinds of interpretations are students making and how are they resolving IQs, and what new questions arise?

Getting a pulse on this can inform how you plan for upcoming texts, recognize the need for additional modeling or other supports, and establish a baseline for progress as students practice identifying evidences and making interpretations from text.
