Additional constructed response questions and new question formats have been added to the following:
Reading Sets:
- The History of Toilets I, II, III
- Anne Sullivan I, II, III
- Animal Tails I, II, III
Literature Set (Nonfiction-Science):
- Volcanoes
The additional questions are robust and ask students to incorporate multiple skills in developing answers. The questions will help drive critical thinking and class discussions involving increased textual complexity and understanding.
These additions to the current multiple-choice sets were designed to challenge students to critically analyze each reading passage. All of the questions have been aligned to the Common Core State Standards and correlated to both Bloom’s Taxonomy and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge scales.
All questions provide students with content support; hints, reasons, and/or sample answers are written for each question. The type of content feedback a student receives is dependent on the type of question.
