The Open Ended Response Scoring Guide

Characteristics of Good Short Answers n n n Be clear and specific. Give a clear, specific answer to the question. Connect logically. All three parts (answer, citation, explanation) have to work together to prove your point. Use the text. Good short answers integrate the text of their story into their answer. Text evidence is a necessity for scoring high.

Strategies for Writing Short Answers n n n Find the Quote first! If you find a quote that answers your question before you write your answer, it’s a lot easier. You write your answer to fit the quote, rather than having to find a quote that fits your answer. Use connecting words! If it feels like you are repeating yourself, then your answer is correct. Turn to thesaurus for help finding synonyms for words. Use thoughtful, insightful analysis: Go beyond the basic answer but do not get too wordy
