  3. Important Information • This booklet is divided into two parts… • Teacher’s Resources and Answer Keys • Pages 1 – 10 • Student Assessment (can be printed in a small booklet form) • Pages 11 – 31 • This material is intended for assessing reading informational standards RI - 5,6 and 7 at the end of quarter two. Do NOT allow students to read the passages before the assessment. In quarter two, students are also assessed on Write and Revise (see page 5). • Student scores for the common formative assessments can be recorded on the Class Assessment Summary Sheet. • Printing Instructions… • Decide on the primary way to use this booklet, then choose one of the following ways to print this material. • You can print the entire 31 pages – then divide it into two sections (teacher and student). The student booklet would be on regular 8 ½ X 11. • OR… • Send to the HSD Print Shop: • Print Shop instructions for Small Student Booklet Format. • Print pages 11 – 31 in small student booklet format. • Set print driver properties to - - Original size 8 ½ x 11 • Paper size = 11x17 • Print type = Small Student Booklet

  4. Directions for Common Formative Assessment • Independent Readers: • Students read selections independently without reading assistance. • Students complete the selected response answers by shading in the bubble. • Students complete the constructed response answers by writing a response for each question. • Not Independent Readers: (Please indicate on record sheet if student is Not an Independent Reader) • Read the selection and questions aloud to the student in English or Spanish. • Read the selected response answers to the student. • Read the constructed response answers to the student. You may write the answer the student says unless he/she is able to do so. • Note: The constructed response questions do NOT assess writing proficiency and should not be scored as such. The constructed responses are evidence of reading comprehension. • Remind students to STOP on the stop page. Do not allow them to go on to the “happy face” page until you have scored their answers. • Assessment Class Summary Sheet (scoring) • When students have finished the entire assessment enter the total number of correct selected responses for each standard (0 – 5). • When students have completed the constructed response score ONLYwith a number from (0 – 3) as indicated by the constructed response rubric. • Write and Revise • The special section for Write and Revise includes six selected response questions. Write and Revise questions are not included on the assessment summary sheets. They are for your information and instruction. • DO NOT write recommendations for the student about why a score was incorrect in their test booklet. It is important for students to reflect on their own answers after the tests are scored on the reflection sheet (last page of student booklet). • Return the scored test booklets to the students. Students record their responses as correct or incorrect on page 30. • The last page in the student booklet is a reflection page (page 28). Students think about what they missed and why. • Present ONEspecific question for students to reflect on concerning incorrect answers. They can do this on their own, with a peer or with a teacher. Example reflections questions might include: • Ideas/Suggestions: • What did you not understand about the question? • Underline words you did not understand. • Rephrase the question.

  5. Write and Revise The Common Core standards are integrative in nature. Student proficiency develops and is assessed on a continuum. The HSD, Common Formative Assessment (CFA) for quarter two includes three write and revisecategories to prepare our students for this transition in conjunction with our primary focus of Reading Informational Text. Student results are for the teacher’s information and are not part of the assessment summary. Quarter 2 Students “Read to Write” integrating basic writing and language revision skills. Write and Revise Assessed Categories for Quarter Two Writing: Write and Revise (revision of short text) Language: Language and Vocabulary Use (accurate use of words and phrases) Language: Edit and Clarify (accurate use of grammar, mechanics and syntax) Quarter 3 Students write expanded constructed responses and move toward “Full Compositions.” Quarter 4 Students respond to a prompt requiring integrative research as part of a “Performance Task” evidenced by a full composition, speech or visual display.

  6. SBAC Reading Assessment Constructed Response General Template  Short Constructed Response Short constructed response sample questions are designed to assess CCLS reading standards. These are single questions that ask students to respond to a prompt or question by stating their answer and providing textual evidence to support their answer. The goal of the short response questions is to require students to show succinctly their ability to comprehend text. In responding to these questions, students will be expected to write in complete sentences.

  7. Quarter 2 CFA Constructed ResponseAnswer Key Constructed Response RI.2.5 • ? 8. What facts can you learn from Diagram 1? RI.2.5 Scoring Notes: “Teacher and Rubric Language” Essential Elements: The essential element students should state for the question prompt is specific information seen only in Diagram 1. Evidence of Understanding/Other Aspects: Evidence of the essential elements or other aspects students should mention include the purpose of the diagram (identifying where Bat Fungus has spread). Other aspects could be 22 U.S. States and 5 Canadian Provinces have bat fungus as well as the years the fungus has spread. Students may also include detailed information about specific states (but they are not labeled and not required). Students should not add extraneous details not related to the prompt. Sentence Organization: Sentences should be logically ordered in such a way as to address the prompt without added information (such as student personal background experiences). Sentences should be varied in length as needed.

  8. Quarter 2 CFA Constructed ResponseAnswer Key Constructed Response RI.2.7 • ? Describe how the text and the illustrations help readers understand more about the bat fungus. Give examples from the text and illustrations. RI.2.7 Scoring Notes: “Teacher and Rubric Language” Essential Elements: The essential element for the question prompt is describing how both the illustrations and text help readers understand about the bat fungus. Evidence of Understanding/Other Aspects: Evidence of the essential element or other aspects students should mention include specific facts about the bat fungus from the text and illustrations. Some of the facts from the text should include descriptions of the fungus (white and on the nose, ears and wings) and that it is a mystery scientists have been trying to solve. Students should also reference the Fish and Wildlife Service as supporting the scientists. Facts from the glossary should also be mentioned. Facts from the illustrations students should include are how scientists are observing the bats. A reference to the bat photo is another aspect but not essential. Sentence Organization: Sentences should be logically ordered in such a way as to address the prompt without added information (such as student personal background experiences). Sentences should be varied in length as needed.

RI.2.6 Scoring Notes: “Teacher and Rubric Language” Essential Elements: The essential element students should state for the question prompt is identifying the author’s main purpose using evidence from the text. Evidence of Understanding/Other Aspects: Evidence of the essential element or other aspects students should mention include the title Bat Facts or allude to the idea of many facts about bats. Students should give 3-4 specific examples of bat-facts and details from the text. Other aspects can include references to the diagram and glossary but are not essential to the prompt.
