I use these two text evidence printables that are included in the RACE toolkit also linked above. When we use passages, my students are taught to underline the evidence from the text that supports their answers.
I explicitly teach the different ways to cite evidence from the text. I do teach both types but, honestly, I prefer to have my students paraphrase the evidence in their own words. This keeps them from plagiarizing and having an answer that is not their original thoughts. The citing text evidence posters shown above are also included in the RACE toolkit. Also, the typo on the Cite Your Evidence chart has been corrected in the download. Teach my students the power of 3.
This means that they try to provide three pieces of evidence to support their answer. We do talk about how sometimes three pieces of evidence may not be available. However, teaching them the power of 3 and that the more evidence you provide, the more difficult it is to refute the answer keeps them searching for more relevant evidence to use.

This step was the bane of my existence for a long time. For the life of me, I could not figure out a way to help my students explain their evidence without just restating it. I taught the importance of not only providing valid evidence but also explaining it using a detective analogy.
He has to explain how each piece of evidence proves his case. I also came up with some simple sentence stems that would both help my students explain their evidence and show them the importance of explaining it to begin with.
The stems helped them understand that they need to show why the textual evidence even matters through their explanation.

It is a younger, kid friendly method for grades with motions to help kiddos remember the important parts of forming their constructed response answers. I would love your suggestions or feedback. In the simple analytic rubric shown below, the underlined scores are the points on the scale of that the particular student evaluated received.
The example show two rows of a five row analytic rubric in Connecting the Dots, Developing Student Learning Outcomes and Outcome-based Assessments 2 nd edition, page 53, by Ronald Carriveau.
The descriptions in each cell in a row tell what is expected to award points on the scale that runs from 4 to 1, with 4 being the highest value and 1 the lowest. Many rubric builders prefer to put the lowest value first, so the scale would run from It is usually most efficient to create the highest value cell description first to get an idea of what would be expected to attain a high degree of the outcome, and then build from there.
Position is clearly stated and is consistently maintained throughout the paper. Position is clearly stated but the position shifts slightly throughout the paper.

Fixed response tests are tests such as multiple-choice, true-false tests, or even matching. They each have different qualities and appropriate uses for eLearning. Some differences have to do with the advantages and disadvantages of each type of test. Some of the advantages for fixed response tests include that they sample the content more adequately than constructed response tests such as essay tests because more questions can be included on the fixed response test than on an essay test.
This is due to the fact that it takes longer to complete an essay test than a multiple-choice or true-false test. They measure procedural knowledge such as concepts and rules more readily than constructed response tests.
For the purposes of this lesson, constructed response assessments will focus on written assessments-- short answer items and essays. Performance assessment and classroom interactions are discussed in other lessons. Scoring Options Assignments. Objectives Write effective short answer fill-in-the-blank assessment items.
