Have you used the RACE strategy before? How? When? Did it help?

19. RACE Pointers R
Restate the question as a sentence. You are giving a mini answer at this point.
Don’t rewrite the question as a question!
Include the author name and the title of the work when restating the question.

20. RACE POINTERS A
Answer the question more fully. Explain your thinking or provide context/background.
Restating the question and answering the question can be eliminated for questions that only have 2 or 3 lines to write. The textual evidence and explanation are the priorities.
Always use complete sentences!

21. RACE Pointers
C & E
When citing evidence, introduce the quote. Use phrases like, “The author states,” or “According to the text…”
You can lead into the quote by providing context. For example: After Piggy takes the conch he says, “quote.”
When explaining how the quote supports your answer, use phrases like, “This demonstrates…” or “Clearly the text shows…”
The explanation is the most important part.

22. RACE Practice
Question: Is Jack the bravest boy on the island? Explain.
Cite your textual evidence. For example, “Quote” (Golding 82).
