How to grade Analytical Responses
R = Race: Simply restate the question without answering it. Use key words from the question within your topic sentence. A = Answer: Answer all parts of the question. If the question is asking about just the theme, inform us of what the theme is. If the question has multiple parts, all parts must be answered. For example, tell us what the theme is AND how it impacts the reader… C = Cite: Include textual evidence or direct quotes to support your response and transition/lead into smoothly. Be sure to include a proper citation. “In paragraph ____ the author states...“ (4) E = Explain/Elaborate: Reflect on the question and offer some insight Explain to the reader what you THINK about the text. How can you connect your quote to the topic sentence. think "outside the box” Do NOT summarize the text. S = Summarize: Restate the prompt/questions and the main ideas you want people to remember Review this first, then have them trade with someone in their table and grade with the rubric. Pass back and make revisions.
