1. Responding to Constructed Response Questions A Strategy While examples used in this PowerPoint were from 5th grade, all content areas and grade levels can learn the process. Reassure participants that they are learning a process and that they will have time to practice this process/strategy with their own content at their own grade level.

3. Lets give it a try! Best way to learn this powerful strategy is to practice with it. Along the way, participants will increase their own knowledge and skills. This should transfer to writing better constructed response items in the classroom.Best way to learn this powerful strategy is to practice with it.

5. As a whole group ask the participants to respond to the the know portion of this question, recording their suggestions on large chart paper. A volunteer can be solicited from the group to record as well.
Examples may include how to read a table, definition of a rule, concept of square feet, minutes and intervals.
To assist in facilitation, it will help to download the scoring guidelines. As participants move through the exercise, ensure that important elements are covered.

8. Ask participants to brainstorm possible Connections, recording their ideas on large chart paper. Remember that each content area has subtle differences and not all questions will be applicable. Examples: include: reading a table, pattern repetition, etc
Encourage participants to design questions of their own that fit in the columns.

9. Its Your Turn! In problem solving, sometimes there is more than one right answer. Teachers will work in pairs or triads to choose their response and justify their answer. In the standards, it states they need to support their thinking. Answers are correct with the right support.In problem solving, sometimes there is more than one right answer.

11. If time permits, take participants through one more example. Its a good opportunity to point out that there is variance in how the chart is completed, depending on the question and how it gets answered. Content area complexities impact it as well.
This question was taken from the fifth grade, Spring 2007, OAT Social Studies test, question. Ask the participants to respond to the the know portion of this question, recording their suggestions on large chart paper.If time permits, take participants through one more example.
