Short and Extended Constructed Response: Composition Strategies
Time: Tuesday, November 7, 2023
Grades 3-8, 8-11 am
Location: HCDE 6005 Westview Dr., Houston, TX 77055
Description:
Across the state, students are expected to write brief explanations and in-depth responses to demonstrate their understanding of content by explaining, analyzing, and evaluating information provided in a reading selection or stimulus. Join us for this fast-paced, writing focused training to explore composition strategies for teaching students how to properly address short and extended constructed response items on STAAR. Collaborate with colleagues as you all work together to create questions and petitions for a wide range of texts along with scoring rubrics. We go beyond RACE and RACES to get students to use the writing process to create brief and extended responses that meet the demands of assigned writing tasks.
