  4. ExampleThe Open Ended QuestionRefugee Walter Greenburg said that he felt deceived upon reaching Oswego. Analyze why he felt deceived and give tworeasons to supportyour answer.

  5. Start With a Clear Beginning That Restates The Question Correct Walter Greenburg said that he felt deceived upon reaching Oswego because he wasn’t truly free. Incorrect He felt deceived upon reaching Oswego because he wasn’t truly free.

  6. PARAPHRASE SUPPORTS(PUT IDEAS IN YOUR OWN WORDS) Direct Quote - Incorrect • “Unlike a human’s circulatory system, where oxygen-rich blood gets shuttled around the body within enclosed vessels, tarantulas have an open circulatory system.” Paraphrased - Correct • Tarantulas have an open circulatory system unlike a human’s circulatory system where the blood is enclosed in vessels.

  7. Be Sure to Use Appropriate TransitionWords Between Sentences & Paragraphs • One reason … Similarly… • A second reason… Unlike… • A third reason… In contrast… • First… • Second… • Third… • Finally… • Next… USE KEY WORDS TO GUIDE YOUR READER.

  8. Be Sure to Provide 1 More TEXT BASED SUPPORT Than is Required. REASON If one support is inaccurate, the opportunity for two supports to be assessed is still available. SAMPLE SUPPORT #1– His situation reminded him of the horrible ordeal he had just escaped. Before he could even get to Oswego, he had to board a train which reminded him of his journey to captivity at one of the Nazi prison camps. *NOTE: Check to see that all three supports are different and not a reworded version of the previously stated support.

  9. USE TEXT-BASED SUPPORTS SUPPORT 2 – When he arrived in Oswego, it seemed like it was no better. He was greetedby barbed wire fencesand military personnel. SUPPORT 3 – Walter Greenburg commented, “I felt deceived. I felt that I should have been free. I mean I felt wonderful. I had doctors. I had nurses. I had food. I came to school. Oswegians were very kind…What good is it to have all the amenities of life if one still isn’t free?”

  10. End With a Closing StatementThat Summarizes the Main Idea. SAMPLE In his mind, Walter was probably thinking kindness does not replace freedom.
