Short Constructed Response

Short constructed response sample questions are designed to assess CCLS reading standards. These are single questions that ask students to respond to a prompt or question by stating their answer and providing textual evidence to support their answer.

The goal of the short response questions is to require students to show succinctly their ability to comprehend text. In responding to these questions, students will be expected to write in complete sentences.

The story told two ways they use their flippers. When a penguin swims underwater its uses it flippers like birds use their wings in the air. Penguins also use their flippers to help them slide down ice and snow on their bellies. These are two ways penguins use their flippers told in the story.

2 Sample Response Student gives two examples but the 2nd example has incomplete details.Penguins have flippers to help them swim in the water. Kind of like gliding. The flippers help them on the ice too.

1 Sample Response Student gives one example but the details were not explicitly stated in text.Penguins have flippers. Flippers help them fly in the water.

0 Sample Responses Student response gives no examples relevant to prompt.I saw a penguin at the zoo. It had flippers.

Aspects of the Task/Evidence: Aspects of the task include student responses that show evidence of understanding the prompt. Specific evidence of how penguins use their flippers should include: (1) penguins use their flipper to swim underwater (2) penguins use their flippers to help them slide.Focused and organized, consistently addressing: Students’ writing stays consistently on the topic of the prompt and is organized (readable) in such a way that it focuses on the prompt.

3On land, penguins walk with a waddle or a hop. They often slide on their bellies to travel over ice or snow. They use their flippers and feet to help them slide.

4There are four stages in the life cycle of a penguin. First, the female penguin lays one or two eggs on land. Second, the male penguin takes care of the eggs until they hatch into chicks.
