  7. Students are expected to follow R.A.C.E. • Restate the prompt • Answer the question • Cite the evidence • Explain/extend the answer

  8. Extended responses (essays) should: • Include a proper introduction • Utilize appropriate grade-level vocabulary and transitions • Include a proper conclusion • Be well-organized

  9. Sample of a paired passage requiring text-based responsesGood bugs vs. bad bugs

  10. Parents, you are just as important as our students! Please help them to be prepared by ensuring that: • You stress the importance of students making their best effort on the test • Students arrive to school on time • Students’ laptops are fully charged each night • Students bring their laptops each day • Students get the proper amount of rest needed the night before • Students eat breakfast or have a plan for breakfast • Students bring snacks to energize them* (*may vary by teacher; please speak with your child’s teacher individually) Also remember, the assessments are timed! Students must be able to pace themselves and manage their own time.
