- 7. What Is the “ OER ”? The TAKS open-ended items are three short answer questions that require the student to write a multi-sentence response . These items are based upon the “triplet” found in the Reading/ELA section of TAKS assessments for grades 9-11 Exit. OER = O pen- E nded R esponse
- 8. What Is the Triplet? 1 st Part : a published literary work, either a short story or an excerpt from a novel
- 9. What Is the Triplet? 2 nd Part : a published expository (informational, nonfiction) passage, either an article from a newspaper or magazine, an excerpt from a memoir, a journal entry, essay, editorial, or an excerpt from a biography or autobiography
- 10. What Is the Triplet? 3 rd Part : a visual media selection reflecting a web page, advertisement, or poster which enables students to make visual connections to the other two passages

- 13. Crafting a Response 1. Provide a clear answer to the question. 2. Provide multiple pieces of support directly from the passage. Direct quotations (usually partial), paraphrases (author’s words in student writer’s own words), or synopses (specific summary) are acceptable. All sentences should connect to each other and it should be clear why the evidence given is significant to the answer. 3. Connect the answer to the support. This is not done with a separate sentence but should be clear from the idea and choice of evidence. 4. Craft the answer into a coherent , logical progression of ideas and evidence that answers the question fully and proves the statement .

- A district-aligned curriculum is defined as total and complete alignment between the curriculum, assessment, and instruction for all students to achieve the highest level of student achievement. (mouse click) The written curriculum or the identified standards, (mouse click) the taught curriculum or the opportunity to learn the standards, (mouse click) and the tested curriculum or the system that measures student attainment of these standards must all be the same. Region IV ESC uses this symbol for all products and professional development to focus this important concept as the core for all services for students. (mouse click) We have added the circular symbol to acknowledge the importance of using assessment data to plan subsequent instruction. English, 2000; Steffy, 1995
- Use this slide and the next to examine the literary, the expository, and the crossover sections of an appropriate TAKS scoring guide.
- For reading and language arts, performance assessments make the reading and writing connection overt to teachers and students. Research confirms that all students benefit from a strong reading and writing connection. When students respond through writing to what they have read, writing and reading improve. Written responses require higher-order thinking and critical-thinking skills.
- As instruction is delivered throughout the six-weeks curriculum “chunks” questioning strategies are critical. They are a critical piece of the actual delivery of the instructional plans. The Research-Based Questioning Strategies Handout gives effective questioning strategies that mirror the assessment questioning strategies, and these are the same ones that should be used during the delivery of instruction. Trainer Notes: Allow participants to review and discuss the Research-Based Questioning Strategies Handout and how this handout can be used during the delivery of instruction.
- Because there is no one correct answer for a performance assessment, sample student responses that have been scored can be helpful to both the teacher and the student. For the student, examining models of good, quality writing is an effective learning strategy. Research suggests that the provision of good models and actively engaging students in assessing and discussing the samples is one of the most effective methods of teaching writing. For teachers, student sample responses can serve as sample baseline papers to use when scoring responses to the performance assessments. Additional performance assessments and scored student samples for those assessments can be found online at www.readingbenchmarks.org. This website is referenced as an instructional resource in the Region IV ESC Scope and Sequence. On the website, you choose the grade level, the process to be assessed, and the textbook. Sample solution A for the question shows a score point 4 paper while sample solution D shows a score point 1 paper. Each of the scored samples on the website has an annotation to explain the scoring.
