  2. Three Parts to a good short answer: • In short answers, you are looking for three important parts. If it has all 3, it is a score 2! • A = ANSWER: Answer what the question is asking you. Restate the question and include YOUR opinion! • P = PROOF: Quote (text) from the story. You’ve got to have textual evidence to be a success! • E = EXPLAIN: This includes your analysis (opinion) that answers the question. It helps if it comes from the quote!

  3. Short Answer Strategy: T = THINK: Think about what you already know; analyze the question. Find a quote first and use it to develop your answer. A = ANSWER:answer what the question is asking you. Restate the question and include YOUR opinion! P = PROVE: Provide textual evidence that proves your answer. Connect to your answer with similar words. use lead-ins! (EX: He said…) (TEXT = ANY words from the story) YOU MUST MAKE SURE ALL 3 PARTS CONNECT to prove your point!

  4. What does “Sufficient” Mean? • From Dictionary.com: • Adequate for the purpose. • In other words, Good enough!

  5. Things to remember… • Find proof that supports an opinion! Then you can pull your opinion out of that quote. • Have an opinion! Your answer’s got to have something to prove. • Make sure you include all parts of a question. Have a reason for your opinion. Say “because…” • Find your quotes first! That will help you make a strong connection between your quote and your answer. • Focus on just one idea to prove. Every idea you’ve got you have to have proof for.

  6. Strategy! • Read the question first! Make sure you understand what the question is asking of you. In this case, your answer also has to do two things. • Start by finding a quote. Track one down that provides an answer to the question. Then, use words in that quote in your answer. • Compose your answer by restating the question, offering your opinion, and a reason for your opinion. • Ex: The narrator feels ______ for her father because she ______. Use similar words/ideas as your quote! • Ex: “Nancy Mairs is (or isn’t) adventurous because ________.” • Now put in the quote. Make sure your proof and opinion connect with similar words and ideas!
