3. Rev. Control: 10/25/2014 HSD – OSP and Susan Richmond This is a pre-assessment to measure the task of writing an informational article. Full compositions are always part of a Performance Task. A complete performance task would have: Part 1 A Classroom Activity (30 Minutes) Activity should include 1.New language and vocabulary students may encounter in passages (taught through a source that does not pre-teach the actual passages) 2.A video, class/group activity or read aloud to build background such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf26jtJfL30 (35 minutes – Independent work) Passages or stimuli to Read 3 Research Questions There may be other constructed response questions. Part 2 A Full-Composition (70 Minutes) Students should have access to spell-check resources but no grammar-check resources. Students can refer back to their passages, notes and 3 research questions and any other constructed responses, as often they’d like. Directions 30 minutes 1.You may wish to have a 30 minute classroom activity. The purpose of a PT activity is to ensure that all students are familiar with the concepts of the topic and know and understand key terms (vocabulary) that are at the upper end of their grade level (words they would not normally know or are unfamiliar to their background or culture). The classroom activity DOES NOT pre-teach any of the content that will be assessed! 35 minutes 2.Students read the passages independently. If you have students who can not read the passages you may read them to those students but please make note of the accommodation. Remind students to take notes as they read. During an actual SBAC assessment students are allowed to keep their notes as a reference. 3.Students answer the 3 research questions or other constructed response questions. Students should also refer to their answers when writing their full opinion piece. 15 minute break 70 Minutes 4. Students write their full composition (informational piece). SCORING An Informational Rubric is provided. Students receive three scores: 1.Organization and Purpose 2.Evidence and Elaboration 3.Conventions 3

4. Rev. Control: 10/25/2014 HSD – OSP and Susan Richmond Directions The HSD Elementary assessments are neither scripted nor timed assessments. They are a tool to inform instructional decision making. It is not the intent of these assessments to have students “guess and check” answers for the sake of finishing an assessment. All students should “move toward” taking the assessments independently but many will need scaffolding strategies. If students are not reading at grade level and can’t read the text, please read the stories to the students and ask the questions. Allow students to read the parts of the text that they can. Please note the level of differentiation a student needed.

Students are allowed to use their notes to later write a full composition (essay). Note-taking strategies should be taught as structured lessons throughout the school year in grades K – 6. A teacher’s note-taking form with directions and a note-taking form for your students to use for this assessment is provided, or you may use whatever formats you’ve had past success with. Please have students practice using the note-taking page in this document before the actual assessment if you choose to use it. Research: In Part 1 of a performance task students answer constructed response questions written to measure a student’s ability to use research skills needed to complete a performance task. These CR questions are scored using the SBAC Research Rubrics rather than reading response rubrics. Plan your essay (brainstorming -pre-writing). Write, Revise and Edit (W.5) Writing a Full Composition or Speech Components of Part 2 Planning Students review notes and sources and plan their composition. Write, Revise and Edit Students draft, write, revise and edit their writing. Word processing tools should be available for spell check (but no grammar check).

Use and define Standard Academic Language: who, what, where, when, why, and how; ask, answer, questions, key details Connect the terms who to characters; where and when to setting; what and how to sequence of events. Ask and answer who, what, where, when, why and how questions about key details in a text. Concept Development Student understands that key details help tell who, what, where, when, why and how. Uses key details to identify who, what, where, when, why and how about a story not read in class. Finds information using key details to answer specific questions about a new story. RL.2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text Pre-Assessment and Learning Progressions The pre-assessments are very unique. toward a standard They measure progress toward a standard. Unlike the Common Formative Assessments which measure standard mastery, the pre-assessments are more like a base-line picture of a student’s strengths and gaps, measuring skills and concepts, students need “along the way,” in order to achieve standard mastery. So what about a “post-assessment?” There is not a standardized post-assessment. The true measure of how students are doing “along the way,” is assessed in the classroom during instruction and classroom formative assessment. For this reason The CFA’s are not called “post-assessments.” The CFAs measure the “end goal,” or standard mastery. However, without the pre-assessments, how will we know what our instruction should focus on throughout each quarter? Learning Progressions: are the predicted set of skills needed to be able to complete the required task demand of each standard. The learning progressions were aligned to Hess’ Cognitive Rigor Matrix. The pre-assessments measure student proficiency indicated on the boxes in purple (adjustment points). These points are tasks that allow us to adjust instruction based on performance. For instance, if a student has difficulty on the first “purple” adjustment point (DOK-1, Cf) the teacher will need to go back to the tasks prior to DOK-1 Cf and scaffold instruction to close the gap, continually moving forward to the end of the learning progression. There is a Reading Learning Progression checklist for each standard in each grade that can be used to monitor progress. It is available at: http://sresource.homestead.com/Grade-2.html Example of a Learning Progression for RL.2.1 Pre-Assessments Measure Adjustment Points (in purple) CFA RL.2.1 grade-level standard assessment.

10. Rev. Control: 10/25/2014 HSD – OSP and Susan Richmond A Note about constructed responses: Constructed response answers are not written “in stone.” There is no perfect way a student should respond. Look for the general intent of the prompt and student response and follow the rubric below as much as possible. Use your best judgment. Unlike DOK-1 questions where there is one right and wrong answer, constructed responses are more difficult to assess. Overall consistency of intent based on most of your student responses can guide you. Quarter 2 Pre-Assessment Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RL.1.6: 3 Point Reading Constructed Response Rubric Question #7 (prompt): What does Dear say to Snappy? What does Snappy say to Dear? Use words and pictures to tell about it. Directions for Scoring Notes: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: Sufficient Evidence (conclusion or central idea) of the prompt would be student words and pictures explaining/showing what Snappy and Dear are saying to each other (some words must be included, not just pictures). Specific identifications (key details) would include that Dear says (1) she’s sad to go, (2) she has to find food and (3) it’s going to snow. Key details of what Snappy says would include (1) It’s OK (don’t worry and (2) he will stay and keep the eggs warm. Full Support (other details) could include any information that supports the prompt and is explicitly from the text (not opinion) including pictures and words. 3 The student gives a proficient response by stating what both penguins say (and may include pictures). Dear is the girl. She said she is sad to go but has to get some food. Snappy is the dad. He say it will be ok because he will take care of the eggs when she is gone. 2 The student gives a partial response by stating some of what one or both penguins say ( and may include pictures). Snappy and Dear talk to each other. Snappy is real nice. He said he will babysit the eggs. Dear has to go. 1 The student gives a minimal response by stating vaguely what one or both penguins say (and may include vague pictures). Dear has to go. Snappy is sad too. He will stay. 0 The student provides no evidence of stating what either penguin is saying. Male penguins sit on the egg all winter.

Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response cites evidence of the ability to cite evidence that shows that penguins are good swimmers. The response supports the opinion or idea of the idea that penguins are good swimmers. Students are able to support that penguins are good swimmers using evidence from the text which may include (1) Snappy is a strong swimmer and (2) he can jump out of water onto land. Students are able to support that penguins are good swimmers using evidence from the illustration which may include (1) penguins have flippers and (2) they have webbed feet. Student “Language” Response Example 2 The student response states the idea that penguins are good swimmers and cites evidence to support this. Penguins are very good swimmers. I know its true because the story said Snappy is a strong swimmer. He can jump out of the water. The picture shows that penguins have flippers. They have webbed feet too. That can help them be strong swimmers. 1 The student response states the idea that penguins are good swimmers and cites some evidence to support this. Penguins can swim really good. They have flippers that help them swim. 0 The response does not state a specific idea or cite evidence from the text to answer the prompt. Penguins like to swim in the sea.

Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response distinguishes which evidence is relevant about Antarctica in order to describe it. Students must distinguish relevant evidence from both the text and the map illustration. The relevant evidence can include from the text that Antarctica is (1) cold and (2) windy. Relevant evidence from the map illustration could include that Antarctica is (1) covered in snow, (2) has penguins, (3) has water all around it (students may name the oceans) and (4) is near the South Pole. Student “Language” Response Example 2 The student is able to distinguish evidence that is relevant about describing Antarctica using the text and map. Antarctica is a very cold place. There is a lot of wind. The Antarctica is all white so it has snow. Penguins can live there too. The penguins can swim because there is water all around. 1 The student is able to distinguish some evidence that is relevant about Antarctica from the text or map. Snappy lives in the Antarctica where it is really cold. He swims in the oceans around it. 0 The student is not able to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information about Antarctica.

Question # 16 Prompt: How does the penguin’s body help it survive? Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to locate and select information about how the penguin’s body helps it survive. Information that supports how a penguin’s body helps it survive could include (1) they have fat to keep warm, (2) they can swim well (infers that they can fish) and (3) they have feathers that keep their skin dry and keeps away water. The response gives sufficient evidence of the ability to interpret and integrate information to write an organized response in order to answer the prompt. Student “Language” Response Example 2 Student locates and selects information about how a penguin’s body helps it survive and is able to integrate the information to write an organized response. Penguins live where it is very cold. So they have to stay warm. They have a lot of fat to help them stay warm. Penguins need to swim to catch food. They have a body that can swim. How do they stay dry? The penguin feathers keep it dry even after swimming! 1 Student locates and selects some information about how a penguin’s body helps it survive and is able to integrate the information to write a some-what organized response. Penguins survive because they have a body full of fat. It keeps him warm. They swim good too. 0 The students does not give enough evidence of the ability to locate, select, interpret and integrate information. Penguins are black and white. They walk funny.

14. Rev. Control: 10/25/2014 HSD – OSP and Susan Richmond 14 Note: “Brief Writes” should take no longer than 10 minutes. Brief writes are scored with a 2-3 point rubric. Full compositions are scored with a 4 point rubric. The difference between this rubric and the constructed response reading rubrics, is that the Brief Write Rubric is assessing writing proficiency in a specific area, while the reading rubrics are assessing comprehension. Quarter 2 Pre-Assessment Brief Write Constructed Response Answer Key Organization: Conclusion W.1.2.c Target: 3a Provide a concluding statement or section related to the information or explanation presented. 17.A student is writing a paragraph for the class to describe penguins. Read the paragraph. Penguins Penguins are different than other animals. They live where it is very cold. They have lots of fat to keep them warm. Penguins like to swim and play. Task: Write one or two more sentences that describe penguins. Teacher /Rubric “Language Response” Directions for Scoring: Write an overview of what students could include in a proficient response with examples from the text. Be very specific and “lengthy.” Teacher Language and Scoring Notes: The student response should provide a conclusion (1-2 sentences) that logically follow and support the preceding information about penguins. The description can be (1) appearance or (2) actions. The conclusion does not have to follow “swim and play,” as the other descriptions in the paragraph are varied. Logically, a students’ description should also vary. The conclusion should have a statement that provides an answer to why the preceding information is important, doing more than restating reasons (formulaic ending) or just summarizing main ideas. Student “Language” Response Example 2 The response provides a conclusion that follows logically from the preceding information that describe penguins. Penguins make nests of stones for their eggs. They have feathers all over to keep water away. Penguins are perfect for living in the Antarctica where it is so cold! 1 The response provides a conclusion that is partially related to the information that describe penguins, but veers off into swimming as the purpose of the paragraph instead of adding additional descriptions. Penguins can jump when they swim and when they play. It would be fun to swim like a penguin. 0 The response: provides no conclusion describing penguins. A penguin is an animal. It lives in the snow all day.
