  17. Thursday 12/23/10Learning Goals: SWBAT1. Review MCAS reading strategies for answering language and vocabulary questions. Steps for answering open response questions on the MCAS 1. Turn the promt/ORQ into a question in your own words • Example MCAS ORQ: “Based on the poem, explain how the poet shows that he feels guilty about killing the man. Use relevant and specific information from the poem to support your answer.” • Example KFQ (kid-friendly-question): How does the poet show that he feels guilty about killing the man? 2. Your answer to the questions becomes your topic sentence.
