Extended Reading Response

Today the sixth grade students were re-introduced to the extended reading response. We will be continuing the format used at PV. The extended reading response can be found on the ISAT. The student will need to answer a prompt after reading a selection. The answer to the prompt is in an essay format. We will be continuing the format used at PV. The sixth graders will be practicing this format this week. The format is as follows:

1. Main idea

2. Evidence
(Proof from text)
3. Interpretation
