I teach third grade, and we have constructive response questions this year. I get excited when they write a complete sentence. We are working hard to use evidence from the text and get their stamina up for reading, but the students become so overwhelmed and shut down. Does anyone have any advice for me? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I teach the same students, on the middle school level. Have you thought about using a writing strategy that will help them break down the question and outline their response? There is RACE or HOOT that are very effective. I don't think this new testing system is very fair for our students and I stressing for my students as well. Google HOOTS or RACE and see if that is useful.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: We use RACE it is very helpful for students that are struggling to get their ideas on paper and figure out what to write. (R) restate the question as a statement, (A) answer the question, (C) cite from the text, (E) Explain or extend your thinking. Very good approach to teaching constructed response questions.
