WHAT WE KNOW
WHAT TO FIND
CHECK
WORK THE PROBLEM
13

1. Show a test item and have students read and write
   a response. Collect and score these for later.
2. Read the item together and ask students to
   highlight or underline what they believe are the
   important words in the problem. Record
   responses, discuss and come to a consensus.

14
3. Show the specific scoring guide and read and
discuss it with the students. Have students work
in groups to discuss what is required for a
response to receive each value. Share their
thoughts. 4. Remind students they may solve
problems in a variety of ways and still be
correct.
15

• Show the class an answer that received the full
  point amount. Have students discuss WHY it
  received that score.
• Repeat until the students understand what a good
  answer looks like.
• Then show them lower scored items, so they can
  see the difference.

16

1. Now give them back their original answers and
   have them revise them.
2. Compare the results so the students can see the
   difference it makes.
