1 We use the R.A.C.E. method to improve our writing.
Question: Why did Satchel Paige drive separately to games? Insufficient Answer: Satchel Paige (R)drove separately to games because the bus his teammates took was (A1)bumpy and rickety. *Miss Lewis counts this as one answer because “bumpy and rickety” both describe comfort. This response does not have any (C)text evidence cited or paraphrase to support their response. This author did not include any (E)explanation of their thinking. This is Level 1 writing.

2 We use the R.A.C.E. method to improve our writing.
Question: Why did Satchel Paige drive separately to games? Proficient Answer using R.A.C.E. Satchel Paige likely (R)drove separately to games because he was (A1)independent and (A2)wanted a more comfortable drive. The author explains, (C)“he drove alone, in cars that would take him wherever he wanted to go.” (E)This evidence proves that Satchel is independent because I know that people who want to go where they feel like going are independent because they can make their own decisions. The text also mentioned, (C/P) that he sometimes rode with his teammates on rickety old buses, bumping along on roads. (E)I know that bumping along in a rickety vehicle would be uncomfortable, so Satchel may have chosen to drive separately to enjoy a more comfortable trip. In conclusion, Satchel Paige probably drove separately because he’s independent and prefers a comfortable ride.
