EXPLANATION CHECKLIST - Click on the Explanation Checklist to make sure that you are working towards achieving the LIs and SCs. You can use this for your self- and peer-assessment too. I've opened it for editing so... Save a copy and add it to a new page on your own blog and this will be where your digital version of your Text Form Diary will live! :-)
