The first step in writing a short response to a text is be sure to read prompts or questions very carefully. Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to do?", and "Where can I find text evidence to support my answer?"

Directions:

Read the passages and anchor charts.
Respond to the prompts. Be sure to use the pre-writing and post-writing checklists.
On the summary slide, click "export text." Compare your responses to the sample responses. How did you do? What can you improve next time?
