ACEing Constructed Responses

What is a Constructed Response? Kristi Pettengill of the Northern Nevada Writing Project explains: "C.R. is, quite simply, a written response to a question. In Nevada, students are asked to 'construct' answers to questions on our Reading, Math, and Science Criterion Referenced Tests.

Currently our Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies departments are working on Constructed Response practice in their classes. This is not just a process that students will need to know for CRTs, but is a great skill to have when writing a response to anything they have learned. Below are links to packets that you will find useful for your lessons. Most of the work has been done for you, and that is the best part!

Packets contain:
- Explanations for what ACE stands for
- Multiple Rubrics for students to use on themselves and/or peers
- Check lists for students to use on themselves and/or peers
- Various Answer Sheets
