Extending Understanding by Making Connections Open Response Questions

Success Criteria

During the last few weeks we have been using our knowledge of making connections and increasing our skills when it comes to answering open response questions.  These styles of questions appear on our literacy evaluations, in our CASI reading evaluations, other subject evaluations, and will be a very large part of our EQAO assessment that we will write in the spring.  We have developed success criteria that hangs in our classroom for the students to use as they work at answering this style of questions.  We have also examined all of the groups' responses, found the good portions of their answers and I put them all together to demonstrate what a level 4 response should look like.  That sample response also hangs in our room as a sample.  Check out the photos.
