How to answer a short essay:

1. Restate the question as a statement; this is your main idea! Ex.- In Gary Paulsen’s Storm, the dog is described as having scale eyes. What does this mean? Restate- Storm was able to determine the weight of items by using his scale eyes.

2. Provide Support/Evidence Show how Storm has scale eyes. When Storm sees the stove on the sled, he stared and growled at it to show his disapproval. Storm felt that the stove was to heavy for the dogs to pull.

3. Closer: Restate the Main Idea Summarize what you have written. To have scale eyes means to be able to determine how much something weighs by looking at it.

4. Put it all together! Storm was able to determine the weight of items by using his scale eyes. For example, when storm sees the stove on the sled, he stared and growled at it to show his disapproval. Storm felt that the stove was to heavy for the dogs to pull. To have scale eyes means to be able to determine how much something weighs by looking at it.

Write it another way! To have scale eyes means to be able to determine how much something weighs by looking at it. For example, when Storm sees the stove on the sled, he stared and growled at it to show his disapproval. Snow felt that the stove was to heavy for the dogs to pull. Storm was able to determine the weight of items by using his scale eyes.
