ACE IMPROVEMENT PLAN Name Jorge Martinez
Date Feb.14th Subject
Literature,2nd period PLAN I need to improve
how I respond to short answer questions so that I
can improve my grade and my score on the
CRT. DO I am fairly good at answering the
questions, but I always forget or dont bother to
say why I got that answer from what I read. I
need to focus on the C part of ACE. I also need
to write more about my answer, which is the E
part of ACE. I need to try and think of something
more to say about the text that will add value to
the writing, like what might happen next or if I
have any personal experience with what the
characters are experiencing. I will re-read my
work and use the ACE scoring guide to help see if
Im doing all the parts of ACE. I should
underline the different parts of ACE as I do
them. STUDY I will re-check my plan in two
weeks and see if it helped to bring up my score
on the next ACE quiz. My teacher will assess my
progress also. ___My plan worked! ___I need
another improvement plan!

ANCHOR PAPER
What kind of person was Amir from The Kite
Runner? AAmir was a chicken, but he was also a
good person. He was not a very loyal friend, but
he did have a conscience that bothered him. CHe
was too afraid to stick up for his friend Hassan
because he Was only thinking of himself and how
afraid he was of the bullies that were hurting
Hassan. Then he framed Hassan for stealing his
money so that he could get him to go away. He
wanted him to go away because his conscience
bothered him every time he saw Hassan. He felt
so guilty for what he did to Hassan that he
Thought about it for the rest of his life. But
in the end, he rescued Hassans son from the
orphanage to make up for his past. EI dont
think I could ever do that to my friend. I know I
would help my friends, no matter what risk it
would cause for me. I would rather be hurt than
have no loyalty.
