WHAT WE KNOW WHAT TO FIND CHECK WORK THE PROBLEM

Show a test item and have students read and write a response Show a test item and have students read and write a response. Collect and score these for later. Read the item together and ask students to highlight or underline what they believe are the important words in the problem. Record responses, discuss and come to a consensus.

3. Show the specific scoring guide and read and discuss it with the students. Have students work in groups to discuss what is required for a response to receive each value. Share their thoughts. 4. Remind students they may solve problems in a variety of ways and still be correct.

Show the class an answer that received the full point amount Show the class an answer that received the full point amount. Have students discuss WHY it received that score. Repeat until the students understand what a good answer looks like. Then show them lower scored items, so they can see the difference.

Now give them back their original answers and have them revise them. Compare the results so the students can see the difference it makes.
