    12. Extended Response The recommended time allotment is 10-15 minutes. Questions are worth 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 points. Students must answer in the space provided--14 lines! One extended response = 4 multiple choice questions. Write four examples and details=5-7 sentences

    14. Extended Response Example Question At the beginning of the story, the father speaks in an “authoritative voice” to tell his four children they will move the tree from the backyard on the following Saturday. Are the father’s “voice” and actions authoritative throughout the story? Use details and information from the story to explain your answer.

    15. What score would you give this response? I think the father’s voice and actions are authoritative throughout the story. The way everyone looks at him shows that they consider him “the boss” of the family. Joe is nervous when he explains why he cannot help move the tree. When the father responds to Mickey, he points out that Saturday is his day off, too, even though he says, “all right.” After he listens to all the children’s reasons or excuses rather than trying to find a time when they could do it together, he says, “All right, I’ll do it myself.” At the end of the story he smiles, but it is not clear if he is smiling because he is happy they want to help him or if he is smiling because he got what he wanted.
