Title: This is why shepherd's pranks upset his family and friends
1How do you help kids do well with Constructed
Response?
You have them ACE it!!
2ACE it? What does that mean? How do we
implement a process like this?

6Grade Student Work as a Class
- Give students a problem.
- Have them brainstorm a solution as a group.
- Work as a class to understand the solution and
appropriate plans. - Give students copies of student work for the
problem. - Have students sort the work into 0-3 points,
following the ACE format (use the checksheet). - Discuss.
7Establish Student Baseline Score
- Teacher assigns a problem.
- Students do it individually.
- Teacher grades the problem using the ACE
evaluation sheet. - Students (or teacher) graph the results.
- Set a class goal.
8Problem Cycle
After 2 problems Teacher collects
grades, student tracks the data.
Scaffold the answer sheets.
9Introduce the Testing Rubric
- How is it similar/different from our ACE
framework? - Students keep this activity in their folder.
- 8th grade would benefit from this activity at the
beginning of the year.
10Tracking Student Work
- Chart student data
- Celebrate!
- Set a new goal
11So, how do we get constructed response problems
to assign?
12Where else can we use ACE?

26Prompt In the story, The boy Who Cried Wolf,
why were the shepherds friends and family upset
with him?
Taken from Right-Answer
Writing by Ardith Davis Cole
The Shepherds friends and family were upset with
him for three reasons.
Most upsetting was the fact that this shepherd
lied to his family and friends two times by
calling wolf for no good reason.
He was supposed to be watching the sheep , but he
grew bored , so he decided to yell out wolf
even though there was no wolf. He even played the
prank a second time, distracting those who came
to help. This would upset any busy person!
Each member of his family, as well as his
neighbors, was busy with chores. Some were
working in the fields. Others were doing
housework. Nevertheless, when the shepherd called
wolf, they left their chores, thinking he
needed help. So their work was interrupted
without good reason.
Unfortunately, his foolish prank unnecessarily
interrupted the work of those who came running.
It was disturbing enough to be lied to and to be
distracted from ones work, but this shepherd
extended the prank by hiding. He even chided
those who responded and called them dumb. Plus,
he didnt even apologize. Instead, he laughed at
the naïveté of these caring people.
Finally adding insult to injury, the shepherd
showed no remorse for his acts, but instead
responded by giggling.
This is why shepherds pranks upset his family
and friends.
In fact, he so upset his family and friends
that, for years to come, the village used the
story as a warning.

3375 of the squares are dominate and 25 are
recessive. I know that 75 of the Punnett
squares are dominate because there is a yellow
pea, or dominate trait, in three of the squares,
and whenever there is a dominate trait in a
square, the dominate always outweighs the
recessive (the dominate always wins!). I also
know that 25, or one square, is recessive. It
has only green peas and because it only contains
recessive traits, it is recessive.
