Case: Quantity or Quality?
In my classroom, my students are required to complete written responses in our reading and language that are typically integrated with social studies and science topics. These responses ask students to create a response using higher levels of thinking based on Bloom's Taxonomy. The assignment I will mention states:
"How did John Brown's beliefs and ideals impact his actions?"
One student, we will call him Student A, responds in great length and truly explains his thinking and uses specific examples that we have read about in our social studies texts, our read-alouds, and our guided reading text. I can really get a grasp on this student's understanding of the topic through his thorough response. Student B responds in one sentence. I can gauge his understanding through his response, but it just seems to lack in comparison to Student A's response.
Which should have the better grade? I honestly think the quality and quantity is better in Student A's response, but Student B did actually answer the question, but very poorly.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the question is still answered correctly I would say both students should receive the same grade, unless you can provide bonus points for the one student going above the required answer by providing more details. A suggestion would be to provide a rubric for any future responses which may help Student B learn to provide more in depth responses. |

| Comments: I completely agree. If the student can answer the problem in a few words, that's great. THe other student just went above and beyond. |

| Comments: Agreed; when it comes to reading response questions, it's really the case of you know the correct answer when you see it. If the teacher had specifically asked for "text evidence," that would be a different story -- but a complete answer is a complete answer. |

| Comments: Rubrics are a great way to demonstrate what is expected. Also, asking for them to explain or back up their answer (and in the rubric say (x) many supporting details) could help distinguish stellar work from decent work. |
