W-2a, W-2b, W-2c, W-2d, W-2e, and/or W-9 2 Target 3 Write and Revise Brief Informational Texts: Write or revise one or more informational/explanatory paragraphs demonstrating ability to organize ideas by stating a focus, including appropriate transitional strategies for coherence, or supporting details, or an appropriate conclusion. Standards: W-2a, W-2b, W-2c, W-2d, W-2e, and/or W-9 DOK 2 Selected Response In order to show effective writing and revision, a student must be able to demonstrate ability to edit in supplemental ideas and through the addition of supporting evidence and elaboration. Task Students are asked to identify the most appropriate supporting details used within a given text. Stimulus Text: Election of the President The process of electing a President was set up in the United States Constitution. The Constitution requires a candidate for the presidency to be: • At least 35 years old • A natural born citizen of the United States • A resident of the United States for 14 years So how does one become President of the United States? The elections. following steps outline the general process for presidential Step 1: Primaries and Caucuses There are many people who would like to become President. All of these people have their own ideas about how our government should work. Some of these people can belong to the same political party. That's where primaries and caucuses come in. In these elections, party members get to vote for the candidate that will represent their party in the upcoming general election. Step 2: National Conventions At the end of the primaries and caucuses, each party holds a national convention to finalize the selection of one Presidential nominee. During this time, each Presidential candidate chooses a running mate (or Vice-Presidential candidate). Step 3: The General (or Popular) Election Now that each party is represented by one candidate, the general election process begins. Candidates campaign throughout the country in an attempt to win the support of voters. Finally in November, the people vote for one candidate. When people cast a vote in the general election, they are not voting directly for an individual Presidential candidate. Instead, voters in each state actually cast their vote for a group of people known as electors. These electors are part of the Electoral College and are supposed to vote for their state’s preferred candidate. Step 4: The Electoral College In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors, based on each state's total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector gets one electoral vote. For example, a large state like California gets 54 electoralvotes, while Rhode Island gets only four. All together, there are 538 Electoral votes. In December (following the general election), the electors cast their votes. When the votes are counted on January 6th, the Presidential candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election. The President-elect and Vice President-elect take the oath of office and are inaugurated two weeks later, on January 20th. Item Stem: Which statement adds appropriate supporting detail to the information in the first paragraph? Options: A. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in place to protect the rights of people. B. Since the Constitution was written in 1787, it has changed to meet the needs of modern Presidents. C. An amendment to the Constitution in 1804 guides the election of the President to the present day. D. The Constitution is a statement of national principles rather than a plan for how the government works.

Target 9 Edit and Clarify: Apply or edit grade-appropriate grammar usage and mechanics to clarify a message and edit narrative, informational, and opinion texts. Standards: L-1, L-2, L-3b DOK 1 Selected Response Task To complete this task, students must be able to recognize the conventions of standard English punctuation, i.e. the use of the comma in a series. This task has the stimulus of the task prior: Election of the President Item Stem: The author of “Election of the President” wants to add to the first paragraph a sentence that identifies the four stages of a presidential election. Read this sentence: The election of the president covers four stages: primaries and caucuses a national convention a general election and Electoral College voting. What is the correct position of commas in the underlined section of the sentence? Options: A. primaries, and caucuses a national convention a general election, and Electoral College voting. B. primaries and caucuses, a national convention, a general election, and Electoral College voting. C. primaries and caucuses a national, convention a general, election and Electoral, College voting. D. primaries and, caucuses a national convention a general election and, Electoral College voting.

Target 6 Write and Revise Brief Opinion Texts: Write or revise one or more paragraphs demonstrating ability to state opinions about topics or sources: set a context, organize ideas, develop supporting evidence/reasons and elaboration, or develop a conclusion appropriate to purpose and audience. Standards: W-1a, W-1b, W1-c, W-1d, W-8 and/or W-9 DOK 2 Selected Response Task In order to show effective writing and revision, a student must be able to recognize a short concluding paragraph that is appropriate for a specific purpose and audience. Animals on the Move A flock of geese flies gracefully overhead. You wish you could see the world as they see it. You wish you could fly and be as free as they are. You wonder where they are going in such a hurry! Well, don't envy them too much, because they may be on avery long, tiring journey. Many geese and other birds migrate thousands of miles every year. Some travel over 7,000 miles one way! Some may travel up to 1000 miles without even a rest stop, crossing the Gulf of Mexico or the Sahara Desert. These birds must follow their food supply and they must return to certain locations to breed. They migrate to survive! Besides birds, some other long-distance travelers are fish, sea turtles, bears, caribou, whales, and porpoises. Some of these kinds of animals are shrinking in population. Some are in danger of disappearing forever. Scientists want to know what is happening to them and why. As part of the answer, they want to know where the animals go, how they get there, and how long they stay. A good way to learn about animals is to track them from space. Scientists pick individual animals and fit them with lightweight, comfortable radio transmitters. Signals from the transmitters are received by special instruments on certain satellites as they pass overhead. These satellites are operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The polar orbits of the satellites let them see nearly every part of Earth as it rotates below and receive signals from thousands of migrating animals. After the satellite gets the signal from the animal's transmitter, it relays the information to a ground station. The ground station then sends the information to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Goddard then sends the information about the animal to the scientists, wherever they may be. Tracking migrating animals using satellites may help us figure out how to make their journeys as safe as possible and help them survive. Item Stem Which of the following statement is an appropriate addition to the final paragraph of “Animals on the Move”? Options: A. Satellite technology has many benefits for migrating animals. B. Scientists can learn a great deal about animals from migration patterns. C. Information about safe migration routes is important for animal survival. D. Animals can be studied in great detail using radio transmitters and satellites.

W-2d, W-3d, L-3a, L-6 1 Target 8: LANGUAGE & VOCABULARY USE: Strategically use language and vocabulary (including academic or domain-specific vocabulary) appropriate to the purpose and audience when revising or composing texts Standards: W-2d, W-3d, L-3a, L-6 DOK 1 Selected Response Task To complete this task, students must be able to recognize academic language that signals precise actions and is appropriate for a specific purpose and audience. Animals on the Move A flock of geese flies gracefully overhead. You wish you could see the world as they see it. You wish you could fly and be as free as they are.
