Scenario 4:
Mr. Marfel assigns a three paragraph essay in which students are required to write in complete sentences. When one of students submits a response that is both incomplete and written in the format of a list, Mr. Marfel awards the student half-credit and asks him to try harder on the next writing assignment. Although the student’s cumulative grade will slip a few percentage points, this assignment alone will not result in a failing grade for the semester and the student did show some understanding of the topic at hand.

What TLC strategy could Mr. Marfel have used? How might this scenario be handled differently in your class?
This teacher should use "right is right", "no opt out", and "format matters". It may help for this teacher to re-look at her teaching and see why the students didn't understand.
