1. The Better Answer Method 1.Restate the Question in your answer. 2.Construct a “gist” or main idea response 3.Add supporting details: such as evidence, examples, data 4.Stay on topic! Ask yourself “Did I answer the question to the best of my ability?” 5.Use proper conventions: grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization

2. The E.C.C. Rubric = 18pts Total Effort (6pts) – is measured by what you are capable of and what you have achieved in the past. Completeness(6pts) – is measured by how well you followed directions and the comprehensiveness of your response Critical Thought(6pts) – is measured by the application of protocols, rubrics, algorithms and methods you have been taught. Ex: Six Traits, B.A.M.
