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 5th grade SPED this year. I would suggest taking it step by step by beginning with a sentence starter that may re-state what the question is asking. My students are used to writing one or two word answers. Another helpful tip if you are taking the test on a computer, start practicing now. I am luck to have a classroom set of laptops. We take those out and practice our responses. It made it fun for the kids and it keeps their interest.
