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.

Sample Response “Student Language” Student answers the prompt stating 2 similarities and 2 differences between the two passages including examples of each.The two passages Who Are We? and Election of the President is similar in two ways. First, both of the passages are about the American Government. The first is about civics which is part of the second passage – how presidents are elected. Secondly, Who Are We? states how important it is that citizens vote. This is a direct connection to Election of the President.These two passages have several differences between them. The first difference is the main idea of each. Who Are We? Has the main idea of the importance of understanding Civics while Election of the President focuses on explaining how presidents are elected. The second difference between the two passages is how they are written. The first is written to inform. The second is written to explain.These are the similarities and differences between the two passages.

2Sample Response Student answers the prompt stating 1 similarity and 1 difference between the two passages but without specific examples of each.The two passages are Who Are We and Election of the President. Both passages are about the United States Government and how it works in some ways. This is a similarity. The two passages are different because one talks about how all citizens should know about America and the other one talks about how to elect a president.

1 Sample Response Student vaguely identifies 1 similarity and infers 1 difference without details or examples.The two passages are both about America but different things about America.

0 Sample Response Student does not answer prompt.The President of the United States is really important.

12. How are both passages, Who Are We and Election of the President similar and different? Use examples from both passages as evidence

to support your answer. (RI.5.6)

Scoring [Notes} “Teacher Language” Student gives essential elements of a complete interpretation: Essential elements of a complete interpretation consists of explicit evidence of support from the two texts in order to answer the prompt: how both passages are similar and different. Aspects of the Task/Evidence: Aspects/Evidence of the interpretation of the prompt is dependent on explicit textual evidence. Some of these aspects (examples) could include these similarities (1) both passages are about government processes (civic duties – electing a President) - the similarities are few – if a student rationalizes another similarity with enough evidence it is acceptable (i.e., electing a president depends on our civic duty of voting). Some of the aspects of differences could include (1) Who Are We focuses on the importance of studying Civics while Election of the President focuses on the process of how Presidents are elected (2) Who Are We is informative while Election of the President is more explanatory.Focused and organized, consistently addressing: Students consistently address the prompt and do not give extraneous information ( their personal points of view or information from other sources). Writing is organized in such a way that it makes sense.

Constructed ResponseNote: The response goal is for students to see beyond just information within the text but to compare text purposes.

Sample Response “Student Language” Student gives two examples. Each example is supported by explicit details from both sections of the passage.A Fight to Vote has two sections. The first section has details about the suffragists and their fight to vote. The next section is a timeline with some of the events showing how women finally got the right to vote. Both of these sections show how suffragists “blazed the trail” for women to have the right to vote. These women continued to fight for the right or “blaze the trail” for others to follow. One example of how women “blazed the trail” is seen in both sections of the passage. In 1848 the timeline sections states that the Woman’s Rights Convention was held in New York. Elizabeth Cady wrote the Declaration of Sentiments. In the first section this clarifies that men and women are created equal (not just men). A second examples is that between 1872 and 1914 on the timeline suffragists continued to fight for the voting right even thought they were often arrested for voting or picketing to vote. In the text Susan B Anthony was arrested in 1872 but stood up at her trial and spoke for the right to vote. These are only two examples of how suffragists “blazed the trail” for women to have the right to vote.

2Sample Response Student gives two examples but is not specific about which section supports the examples. Student gives a few details and shows a general idea of the prompt’s objective.Blazing a trail means that the women who wanted to vote began to fight for the right. The constitution only said that men were created equal so the women met and started the NWSA which is a group fighting for women’s rights to vote. That was the first thing they did to blaze a trail for others to follow. The women never gave up and sometimes got arrested but eventually they got the right to vote in 1920!

1Sample Response Student seems to understand concept of passage but is not specific with examples or details.Women had to fight to vote. They did lots of things and worked hard to be able to vote. They formed a group and started to tell others.

0 Sample Response Student does not answer prompt.I think everyone should get to vote.

16. Explain how suffragists “blazed the trail” for women’s rights to vote. Use examples from both sections of the passage A Fight to Vote

Scoring [Notes} “Teacher Language” Student gives essential elements of a complete interpretation: Essential elements of a complete interpretation consists of explicit evidence of support from the two sections in the text in order to answer the prompt: how suffragists blazed the trail for women’s voting rights.Aspects of the Task/Evidence: Note: Information specifically from the timeline is in bold print. Aspects/Evidence of the interpretation of the prompt is dependent on explicit textual evidence. Some of these aspects (examples) could include: (1) identifying in some way what the idiom “blazed a trail” means – important! (2) stating the problem: In Seneca Falls, NY the NWSA was formed where some women recognized that “all men” in the Declaration of Independence should have said “all men and women are created equal.” (3) women worked hard to get to vote (4) suffragists gave talks and traveled the country to promote this idea (4) Susan Anthony was arrested when she voted but did not give up (5) it took many years for women to be able to vote but suffragists kept fighting for the right (6) Women held rallies in NY and Washing D.C. (7) women who “blazed the trail” did not live to see the day women could vote in 1920 – Susan Anthony in her last speech said “Failure…is impossible.” Other examples are acceptable if they are explicitly supported in the text.Focused and organized, consistently addressing: Students consistently address the prompt and do not give extraneous information ( their personal points of view or information from other sources). Writing is organized in such a way that it makes sense.

Constructed ResponseNote: Students must clarify what “blazed the trail” means and state the problem in order to support the prompt identifying which section details and examples originate from.

Who Are We?

Are you a master at math? A rock star at reading? What about civics? If you are like millions of Americans, your government know-how might be more of a “know-little.”

Civics is the study of the rights and duties of citizens. A good citizen needs to know at least basic information about the nation, such as how the government is run. He or she also needs to know about the country’s history and the problems and challenges facing the nation today.

However, recent studies have found that a lot of Americans don’t know enough about the United States. In one study, only one in three Americans could name the three branches of government. In another, less than 4 percent of teens in Arizona could pass a citizenship test. That is a test people from other countries need to pass to become U.S. citizens.

Those findings could make Uncle Sam want to move to Canada! After all, if citizens don’t know about their country, they can’t help run it, says former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. “We are [very lucky] to have a stable ... government,” she told WR News. “But ... it is the citizens of our nation who must preserve our system of government, and we cannot forget that.”

Citizen’s Rule!When the country’s founders wrote the Constitution in 1787, they did something completely unheard of—they gave the power to the people! They thought U.S. citizens should have a say in how the nation is run.

One of the most important responsibilities Americans have is voting. U.S. citizens elect the people who run the country, from city officials to the U.S. president. Those elected officials make and enforce, or put into effect, laws that affect the whole country.

Page 12: Grade  5 Teacher Directions Hillsboro Elementary Interim Assessment

12

That’s why it’s so important that people get clued in on civics, says Syd Golston. She is the president of the National Council for the Social Studies. “People who vote need to be informed [or educated] because they’re really making the decisions,” Golston told WR News.

Civics in Motion

Some U.S. education experts say schools spend less time teaching civics now than they did in the past. “It used to be a subject that was taught ... So many minutes a day,” says Margaret Branson. She is the associate director of the Center for Civic Education. “The teaching of civics and government has just dropped off dramatically.”

O’Connor is trying to change that. She has spoken out in TV interviews, stressing the value of learning about the United States. She also works with Our Courts, a Web site that teaches children about civics.

Other star citizens are speaking out on Uncle Sam’s behalf. Actor Richard Dreyfuss is crafting a national plan for civics education. Former Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter is stepping up civics talk in schools in his home state of New Hampshire.

Uncle Sam wants you to learn more about civics!

The Fight to VoteWomen suffragists changed the United States

March 01, 2013By Nellie Gonzalez Cutler Time for Kids

Women suffragists marched in the streets across the nation. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." With those words, the Declaration of Independence set forth the idea of equality. But the women at the Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, felt that a key phrase was missing. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and others rewrote the Declaration. "All men and women are created equal," they insisted. They resolved that it was "the duty of the women of this country" to fight for suffrage, or the right to vote.

Seneca Falls was the beginning of a long road to suffrage. Those who wanted to expand voting rights to all Americans were called suffragists. Suffragists demonstrated, gave talks and traveled the country.

In 1872, Susan B. Anthony voted in Rochester, New York. She was arrested and convicted of breaking the law. "My natural rights, my civil rights, my political rights, my judicial rights, are all alike ignored," she said at her trial.

Six years later, Senator A.A. Sargeant, of California, introduced an amendment to the Constitution to ensure that women could vote. But it took another 42 years before all women in the U.S. were guaranteed the right to vote.

On November 2, 1920, 8 million American women voted in a presidential election for the first time. The women who blazed the trail did not live to see that historic day. In her last speech, one month before she died, in 1906, Anthony urged women to continue to fight for the vote. "Failure," she told her audience, "is impossible."

Page 23: Grade  5 Teacher Directions Hillsboro Elementary Interim Assessment

The Fight to Vote

One Step at a Time Women worked hard to get the vote. Here are some of the main events.

1848 The Woman's Rights Convention is held in Seneca Falls, New York. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes the Declaration of Sentiments.

1869 Stanton and Susan B. Anthony (shown) form the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Only women can join. Lucy Stone forms the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). It is open to men and women.

1872 Anthony and supporters vote in the presidential election. They are arrested.

1878 A woman suffrage amendment is first introduced in the U.S. Congress.

1890 The NWSA and AWSA merge to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

1912-14 Women hold rallies in New York City and Washington, D.C.

1917 Police arrest women who are picketing outside the White House. By 1918, about half the states have granted full or partial voting rights to women.

1919 Congress passes the 19th Amendment, called the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It is ratified, or confirmed, one year later.
