2. 07/04/2015 OSP and Susan Richmond 2 Quarter One English Language Arts Common Formative Assessments Team Members and Writers This assessment was developed working backwards by identifying the deep understanding of the two passages. Key Ideas were identified to support constructed responses and key details were aligned with the selected response questions. All questions support students’ background knowledge of a central insight or message.

3. 07/04/2015 OSP and Susan Richmond About this Assessment SBAC assessments are made up of four item types: Selected Response, Constructed Response, Technology-Enhanced, and Performance Task. HSD Quarter One Assessments consist of 20 questions with Writing items now included in the assessment scores. There are no Performance Tasks (PT) in quarter 1 assessments. The ELA Performance Tasks focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening, and research claims. They measure capacities such as depth of understanding, interpretive and analytical ability, basic recall, synthesis, and research. There are NO Technology-enhanced Items/Tasks (TE) Note: It is highly recommended that students have experiences with the following types of tasks from various on-line instructional practice sites, as they are not on the HSD Elementary Assessments: reordering text, selecting and changing text, selecting text, and selecting from drop-down menus. Note: Note: The reading constructed response questions do NOT assess writing proficiency and should not be scored as such. These constructed responses are evidence of reading comprehension.

4. 07/04/2015 OSP and Susan Richmond An Important Note: During the first quarter of first grade most students are not reading fluently and have not taken an assessment with selected and constructed responses in this format. Read the stories to the students and ask the questions as Listening Comprehension rather than Reading Comprehension questions. Do the assessment (or part of the assessment) as an instructional practice piece. This is a learning experience for first graders and should look more like an instructional piece rather than an assessment. Do not expect students to do this independently. This assessment can be done as a class project over several weeks with the literary section taught at a different time than the informational section. Scaffold over the year until students are reading and doing more of the assessment independently. Directions for Selected Responses Part One “This is an assessment or “test.” An assessment lets us know what we can learn more about (show them the model assessment copy). I am going to read a story to you called, The Storm. Then I will ask you some questions about the story.” Read the Story The Storm Part Two “Now I am going to ask you some questions about the story. Keep the answers in your mind (point to your head) and don’t speak them with your voice.” Model asking a question and keeping it in your mind. Then model answering a question without speaking the answer aloud. You may want to write a question on the board and then three possible choices (A,B,C). Read each choice and then go back and shade in the circle by the correct choice. Read each question for The Storm. Do the entire assessment as a “class project” using an overhead and allowing a few students to shade in answers. Students practice keeping the answers in their “mind.” It is important to discuss each answer immediately after it is chosen to help students understand why it is or is not correct. Directions for Constructed Responses Part Three “We have practiced finding answers about the story. We have filled or shaded in some bubbles to show the answer we think is right.” “Now we are going to answer questions about the story in a different way. We will listen to a question and then write and draw about it to show we understand.” “Listen to the question “ (read the first constructed response prompt). Discuss the answer as a class. Model on the board how you would answer the question with words and pictures. Allow 2-3 students to add words in the sentence frame or pictures to your model. Then ask: “Do our words and pictures answer the question? “ Have students complete the next constructed response question on blank paper. Allow them to discuss and share their answers and their thinking. Repeat the process for the informational text: Spinning Storm and all Writing and Language prompts.

5. 07/04/2015 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 are right and wrong answers, constructed responses are more difficult to assess. Overall consistency of intent based on most of your student responses can guide you. Quarter 1 CFA Constructed Response Answer Key Standard RL1.2: 2 Point Short Reading Constructed Response Rubric RL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson. Question (prompt) #7 What is the main idea of The Storm? Write and draw to show your answer. 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 (general idea) of the prompt would include information in writing and drawing about what the main idea of The Storm is. Students must identify the main idea in some way to score on this question. This is a DOK-2 question so students should respond with more information to explain. Specific Identifications (supporting details) to support the main idea would include any information to support that the main idea is about a child’s experience during a storm. These could include (1) dark clouds, (2) strong winds, (3) moving clouds, (4) lightning flashes and (5) thunder crashing. Specific: Full Support other details that could support the evidence of the main idea might include (1) the child was looking out the window and saw the storm coming and (2) the sun came out after the storm and he/she went outside. Note: Any drawings or words that represent something found explicitly in the text to support the prompt is acceptable. 2 The student gives a proficient response by stating in some way the main idea of The Storm using several details as evidence. The main idea of the story is that a little kid saw a storm coming and told what it was like. He saw dark clouds moving to his house and lots of rain and loud thunder. It was windy too. After the storm he went outside to play. 1 The student gives a partial response of the main idea of The Storm uses few details as evidence. This story is about loud thunder and lots of rain. The girl saw a storm out the window. 0 The student gives no response about the main idea of The Storm. I like to play outside in the rain.

Question (prompt): #8 Describe the setting in the story The Storm, and how it changed. Write and draw to show your answer. 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 (general idea) of the prompt would include a description of the setting in the story before, during and after the storm. Specific Identifications (supporting details) could include (1) looking out the window and seeing dark clouds, (2) the descriptions of the storm (may vary) and (3) the sun coming out after the storm. Specific: Full Support other details that could support the setting may include how the storm moved over and around the house. Note: Any drawings or words that represent something found explicitly in the text to support the prompt is acceptable. 3 The student gives a proficient response by describing the setting in the story and how it changed using details specifically from the text. The story tells about how it looks outside. So that is the setting but its also inside because that’s where the girl is but mostly outside. She looked out the window and at first it was just dark clouds. Then it was a big storm with thunder and lightning and wind. At the end the rain stopped and the sun came out. Now the setting is nice and sunny to play in. 2 The student gives a partial response by describing some of the setting in the story and how it changed using SOME details specifically from the text. It is raining outside really hard because there is a storm. When it stops raining it is sunny outside. 1 The student gives a minimal response by vaguely describing the setting in the story but not how it changed. The boy looked out the window and it was raining. 0 The student provides no relevant response to the prompt. I have an umbrella for when it rains. RL.1.3 Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.

Question (prompt) #15 What details in the text Spinning Storm, tells the reader that hurricanes can be dangerous? Write and draw to show your answer. 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 (general idea) of the prompt would include reasons that support why hurricanes can be dangerous, using evidence specifically from the text Spinning Storm. This is a DOK -2 question which goes beyond restating, but has inferences that are explicitly evident. Specific Identifications (supporting details) could include (1) hurricanes bring heavy rain and strong winds, (2) it can harm trees and homes, (3) don’t go near windows (an inference) and (4) stay indoors (another inference). Specific Full Support: other details that could support that hurricanes can be dangerous may include (1) making sure you have water and food to last 3 days which infers you may be stranded, (2) you need a safety kit and (3) strong waves or a storm surge can cause flooding. Note: Any drawings or words that represent something found explicitly in the text to support the prompt is acceptable. 2 The student gives a proficient response by providing ample evidence (details from the text) of why hurricanes can be dangerous. A hurricane is a big wind that is really strong and can hurt your trees and house. That means it is very dangerous. You are supposed to stay inside because its not safe. It can even make a flood which is not safe. 1 The student gives a partial response by providing some evidence from the text of why hurricanes can be dangerous. Hurricanes can be dangerous. If there is a hurricane strong winds can may trees fall over. 0 The student provides no evidence from the text as to why hurricanes can be dangerous. Hurricanes make a lot of wind. RI.1.2 Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text.

Specific: Full Support other details that could support staying safe in a hurricane could be (1) having a safety kit. Note: Any drawings or words that represent something found explicitly in the text to support the prompt is acceptable. 3 The student gives a proficient response by providing evidence from the text explaining what to do to stay safe if there is a hurricane. When there is a hurricane you need to be safe. To stay safe there are lots of things you can do. First stay inside and stay away from the windows. The strong winds can break windows! Then, have your mom or dad check the weather reports on TV or the radio to see when its safe to go out. Always have enough food and water for 3 days in case you are stuck in the house. Staying safe is important. Another thing to do is have a kit with batteries and flashlights. 2 The student gives a partial response by providing some evidence from the text explaining what to do to stay safe if there is a hurricane. Hurricanes are not safe so you need to stay in your house. Don’t stand by a window or look out the window. Stay safe! Keep flashlights too in case it gets really dark. 1 The student gives a minimal or vague response of what to do to stay safe if there is a hurricane. It rains a lot and the wind can knock you down so don’t go outside. 0 The student provides no relevant response to the prompt. I don’t like wind or rain.

17. 07/04/2015 OSP and Susan Richmond 17 Source 2 Spinning Storm By Elizabeth Yeo 1 Hurricane season is here! The season lasts from June to November. A hurricane is a storm that brings heavy rain and strong winds. It can harm trees and homes. 2 A hurricane begins over warm ocean water. Winds make the storm spin around and around. The center of the storm is called the eye. It is calm there. 3 Hurricanes often hit places near the coast. A coast is land next to the ocean. A hurricane can cause big ocean waves. The waves are called a storm surge. That can cause flooding. 4 Follow these tips to stay safe during a hurricane.  Stay indoors. Don’t go near windows.  Check weather reports.  Make sure you have water and food to last three days. 5 How can you get ready for a hurricane? You can pack a safety kit with water, a radio, a flashlight, batteries, blankets, and food.
