10. 10 SBAC Research Constructed Response Three Assessed Research Targets Constructed Response Research Rubrics Target 2 Locate, Select, Interpret and Integrate Information. 2 The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. 1 The response gives limited evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. 0 A response gets no credit if it provides no evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. Constructed Response Research Rubrics Target 3 Evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information such as fact from opinion. 2 The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information such as fact from opinion. 1 The response gives limited evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information such as fact from opinion. 0 A response gets no credit if it provides no evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information such as fact from opinion. Constructed Response Research Rubrics Target 4 Ability to cite evidence to support opinions and ideas. 2 The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to cite evidence to support opinions or ideas. 1 The response gives limited evidence of the ability to cite evidence to support opinions or ideas. 0 The response gives no evidence of the ability to cite evidence to support opinions or ideas.

11. Constructed Response Research Rubrics Target 2 Locate, Select, Interpret and Integrate Information. 2 The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. 1 The response gives limited evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. 0 A response gets no credit if it provides no evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information within and among sources of information. RL.4.6 Compare and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narrations Question #7 Prompt: From what point of view is The Miracle Worker and the poem Helen Keller written? What does this tell the reader? Research Constructed Response A “Good Fit..”

12. Student “Language” Response Example 2 Student is able to distinguish relevant information about which points of view are represented in each text and what that tells the reader about the text. The Miracle Worker starts off by a student telling that her class will be performing a play about Helen Keller. This is like a 1 st person point of view. But then she tells about Helen Keller, which is 3 rd person. The reader will know that the person telling about the class play is speaking personally but when she starts talking about Helen she is in the 3 rd person because she’s telling “about someone else.” The reader would know that the poem is also a 3 rd person account because it’s telling about someone else. 1 Student is able to distinguish some relevant information about which points of view are represented in each text but not completely, and is able to tell some of what that tells the reader. There are two different texts. First is The Miracle Worker which tells about Helen Keller. The reader knows it’s about Helen, but not written by Helen. That is third person point of view. 0 Student is not able to distinguish relevant information in order to answer the prompt. When someone writes a story the reader can tell who wrote it. Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information that support and answer the prompt. The Miracle Worker has two sections. The first section All About Helen, is written from a third person point of view, but could alternate with parts of it being told by the narrator (much like a 1 st person account). The second section, The Play, is written from a first person point of view. The poem Helen Keller is written from a third person point of view. Students must make this distinction before being able to answer the question, “What does this tell the reader?” Students should in some way explain that 1 st person points of view tell the reader that: (1) it is personal and (2) it is a spoken voice. Students should in some way explain that 3 rd person points of view tell the reader that: (1) it is being told by someone else and (2) is a written account.

13.

14. Performance Task Criteria focus on one type of a full-compositional writing piece. Our Performance Task Prompts will… be the SBAC rubric for a full composition. build on the content of all sources. support a shared insight or a “Big Idea,” between all sources. be constructed around source evidence. Our Performance Task Rubric will… be a “real-to-life,” scenario.

15. Creating Text Dependent Questions for Paired Texts Text 1 – Creating Text Dependent Questions for Paired Texts Text 2 – Central Insight: What central insight from all texts contributes most to an understanding of _____________? Shared Central Insight Statement: Major Points: What major points in each section of the texts (or various stimuli) support the central insight? Number each section of each text. Section 1 Major Point Statement Key Details: What key details support the Major Point Statement? Section 2 Major Point Statement Key Details: What key details support the Major Point Statement? Section 3 Major Point Statement Key Details: What key details support the Major Point Statement? Section 4 Major Point Statement Key Details: What key details support the Major Point Statement? Section 5 Major Point Statement Key Details: What key details support the Major Point Statement?

16. Shared Central Insight 1. Read both passages. 2. Write a Central Insight Statement Shared Central Insight: What central insight from each text contributes most to a deep understanding of _____________? The Performance Task Prompt 3. Write a Performance Task that supports the concept of your Central Insight Statement. Sometimes we have to prepare ourselves for unexpected situations. The passages provided talk about the American Revolution, an unsure time in American history. Imagine you are explaining to a group of soldiers what it’s like to fight the British in the American Revolution. Use the information from the texts to create a flyer to inform soldiers about the war against the British. Central Insight Statement: (from 2 passages about revolutionary war heroes) First try: Heroes of the American Revolution were very brave. Second try: There are times when we face surprising situations that call for courage.
