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!)
I would push the student B to try to write more, if that's what I was assessing. I would also use a rubric to grade the writing, so that the students know what is being expected of them. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution, while student B's response may have answered the question, it is important for him to learn how to elaborate in his writing. Using a rubric would be a great way to give this student a better idea of what it is expected. |
