Extended Responses

It is that time of year again, where we are beginning extended responses. In the spring when the students take their ISAT tests they will be expected to write a response to their reading passages. These answers are called extended responses. Students need to restate the main idea, give two pieces of evidence supporting their main idea, interpret their evidence, and end with a closing statement or extension. We will begin practicing these this week, and will continue to write them throughout the rest of the year.

Important Days:
Thursday- Bowling trip
Friday- Last day of the trimester
