How to write a strong and complete sentence.

2. Complete Sentences that Reflect the Question or CSRQ
CSRQ is required when answering all questions.
CSRQ is easier than re-writing and then answering the question

3. Methods First remove the question word.
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How
Use what is left of the question and combine with your answer.
This will form a complete sentence and reflect the question without rewriting the whole thing.

4. Examples What is your name? My name is Mrs. Rickert.
Who wrote “Thank You, Mr. Jones”?
Sarah Logan wrote “Thank You, Mr. Jones.”

5. Things to remember Include everything out of the original question.
If there is a quote, use the quote.
If there is a name, use the name!
Use EVERYTHING!

6. Examples
The length of the question doesn’t matter. It is always set up the same way.
For example---
Question: “Do you think Ackerman’s scientific knowledge about leaves comes from observation or research? Explain.
Answer: I think Ackerman’s scientific knowledge about leaves comes from research because she uses sophisticated explanations and terminology.

7. Inverted word order
It is acceptable to use inverted word order in CSRQ if it still makes sense!
Question: What are three things people do with fall leaves?
Answer: Play in leaves, protect plants and recycle to create humus are three things people do with fall leaves.

8. Remember You do NOT write the question. Remove the question word.
You reflect the question in your answer.
I will recognize the question immediately, if you have done it correctly.
Include everything from the question in your answer!

9. More Examples… Question: Who wrote the book entitled White Fang?
Answer: Jack London wrote the book entitled White Fang.
Question: As a child, what does Brooks assume about the “wasp house”?
Answer: As a child, Brooks assumed that the “wasp house” was made by humans, just as a birdhouse is.

10. Don’t Forget!!!!! Always capitalize the first word in every sentence!
Always end your sentences with some form of punctuation, such as a period!
If a word has an apostrophe, make sure you use it!
