Still Working on Those Short Constructed Responses....
After using the SCR writing guide to help "anchor" students in the rubric of the new response items for Reading, I decided that a "revise & reflect" guide was needed to guide them through applying the rubric to their own writing. It is in the SCR folder in all the resources, but I added a button to directly access it below. If you want a copy to revise for yourself, please "make a copy" in Google and change for your needs. Hang in there, RLA friends. Our students will be ready. ~TM

Short Constructed Response
The short-constructed responses vary by content area, but they all have item-specific rubrics. This means that the test designers have created a rubric for the correct answer specifically for that question. These rubrics will be shared with the public when the tests are released.

This is an interactive training with cards and sorting. The focus of the training is how the revising & drafting TEKS are assessed...using the language of the TEKS and the resources from the Texas Gateway TEKS Guide. Teaching students the five specific things that they will "revise" for by having them revise for those same five things in their own writing will set them up for success.
