Directions for Common Formative Assessment

Independent Readers: Students read selections independently without reading assistance.

Students complete the selected response answers by shading in the bubble.

Students complete the constructed response answers by writing a response for each question.

Not Independent Readers: (Please indicate on record sheet if student is Not an Independent Reader)

Read the selection and questions aloud to the student in English or Spanish.

Read the selected response answers to the student.

Read the constructed response answers to the student. You may write the answer the student says unless he/she is able to do so.

Note: The constructed response questions do NOT assess writing proficiency and should not be scored as such. The constructed responses are evidence of reading comprehension.

Remind students to STOP on the stop page. Do not allow them to go on to the “happy face” page until you have scored their answers.

Assessment Class Summary Sheet (scoring)

When students have finished the entire assessment enter the total number of correct selected responses for each standard (0 – 5).

When students have completed the constructed response score ONLY with a number from (0 – 3) as indicated by the constructed response rubric.

Write and ReviseThe special section for Write and Revise includes six selected response questions. Write and Revise questions are not included on the assessment summary sheets. They are for your information and instruction.

DO NOT write recommendations for the student about why a score was incorrect in their test booklet. It is important for students to reflect on their own answers after the tests are scored on the reflection sheet (last page of student booklet).

Return the scored test booklets to the students. Students record their responses as correct or incorrect on page 28.

The last page in the student booklet is a reflection page (page 29). This last page is a reflection page for the students to think about what they missed and why.Present ONE specific question for students to reflect on concerning incorrect answers. They can do this on their own, with a peer or with a teacher. Example reflections questions might include:

Ideas/Suggestions:•What did you not understand about the question?•Underline words you did not understand.•Rephrase the question.

Write and Revise

The Common Core standards are integrative in nature. Student proficiency develops and is assessed on a continuum.

The HSD, Common Formative Assessment (CFA) for quarter two includes three write and revise categories to prepare our students for this transition in conjunction with our primary focus of Reading Informational Text. Student results are for the teacher’s information and are not part of the assessment summary.

Quarter 21. Students “Read to Write” integrating basic writing and

language revision skills.

Write and Revised Assessed Categories for Quarter Twoa. Writing: Write and Revise (revision of short text)b. Language: Language and Vocabulary Use (accurate use of

words and phrases)c. Language: Edit and Clarify (accurate use of grammar,

mechanics and syntax)

Quarter 31. Students write expanded constructed responses and move toward “Full

Compositions.”

Quarter 42. Students respond to a prompt requiring integrative research as part of a

“Performance Task” evidenced by a full composition, speech or visual display.

Short Constructed Response

Short constructed response sample questions are designed to assess CCLS reading standards. These are single questions that ask students to respond to a prompt or question by stating their answer and providing textual evidence to support their answer.

The goal of the short response questions is to require students to show succinctly their ability to comprehend text. In responding to these questions, students will be expected to write in complete sentences.

Sample Response “Student Language” Student references names of camps and mountains as well as one mention of a specific elevation. Naming all parts of the diagram are not necessary.If a mountain climber was going to climb Mount Everest I would be sure the climber had a map of the mountain! I would explain that he might see some glaciers and mountain areas that have names as he goes up the mountain (like Khumbu Glacier and Khumbu Icetall). Then he would find the base camp. It is the lowest elevation. I would tell the climber that as he climbs up there will be four more camps along the way. They are Camp 1,2,3 and 4. I would show him that some of the camps are on the North Face and some are on the South Face of the mountain. There are also more parts of the mountain that have names. When he reaches the summit it will be 29,028 feet up!

2Sample Response Student refers to one mountain name and specifies four camps but without names. Very few details are listed but is addressing the prompt somewhat.A mountain climber going up Mount Everest would see lots of things. She might see a glacier named Khumbu and four camps. She would have to climb higher and higher to reach to the top.

1 Sample Response Student has a vague idea of the prompt (going up to the top) but does not address the prompt in its entirety.People can climb mountains like Everest. They have to go far up to the top. It is very cold.

0 Sample Response Student does not address prompt at all.I like pictures of tall mountains like Mount Everest.

6. A mountain climber is planning to climb Mount Everest. Based on the Diagram of Mount Everest, explain what he or she will see along the way to the summit.

Scoring [Notes} “Teacher Language” Student gives essential elements of a complete interpretation: Essential elements that must be included in the student’s response is explicit reference to facts and/or examples from the diagram as well as a sequential order of those facts (from the bottom of the mountain to the summit).Aspects of the Task/Evidence: Some aspects to show evidence of the essential elements can include the name of the four camps along the path to the summit and parts of the mountain that have been named (along with elevations or some reference to elevation). Reference can also be made to the North and South faces of the mountain but are not essential.focused and organized, consistently addressing: Sentences should be logically sequenced and have varied length depending on the need. Extraneous information should not be included. If students use information from the text to support facts from the diagram it is acceptable but should not affect scores as it is not a requirement of the prompt.

12. Using evidence from the text, explain how the author feels about the people who attempt to climb Mount Everest. Do you agree or disagree? Explain why or why not.

Scoring notes: “Teacher Language”Student gives essential elements of a complete interpretation: Essential elements that must be included in the student’s response state the author’s point of view using supporting text evidence. Aspects of the Task/Evidence: Student should convey that the author feels climbers of Mt. Everest must be brave/courageous to attempt the difficult and dangerous climb because of (1) high winds, (2) thin air, (3) freezing temperatures, and (4) a risk of avalanches. At least three of these risk factors should be mentioned. Student should state why they agree or disagree with the author’s point of view using supportive details from the text. focused and organized, consistently addressing: Student writing reflects the author’s point of view. Student states why or why not he or she agrees with the author’s point of view. The sentences vary in length and interest depending on the point the student is making about the topic

Sample Response“ Student Language” Student states the author’s point of view using textual evidence and explains why he/she agrees based on the four risk factors from the text.The author feels that climbing Mt. Everest is dangerous and difficult because the conditions are harsh on the mountain. The author states that a person must be brave in order to climb Mt. Everest. I agree with the author that it is a dangerous climb because there are high winds and freezing temperatures. Another reason it is difficult is because the air is thin. There is also a risk of avalanches.

2Sample Response Student states the author’s point of view based on textual evidence and why he/she agrees with the author. However only two risk factors are mentioned. The author feels like climbing Mt. Everest is dangerous because the air is thin and there are avalanches. Mountain climbers are brave. I agree with the author.

1 Sample Response Student does not answer prompt specifically but states an opinion about mountain climbing.Climbing mountains is hard. I have hiked up a mountain before.

0 Sample Response Student does not answer prompt at all.There are mountains in Oregon.

Sample Response “Student Language” Student addresses the prompt by explaining the relationship of the text to the diagram with explicit details.The diagram and the text help understand the different types and uses of teeth. Some teeth are small and sharp, like the incisors. They help to chop the food. The biggest and strongest teeth are the first molars. They are used for grinding and crushing food. The canines are located between the incisors and molars. They are pointed and sharp and are used to tear food. The Wisdom Teeth would be behind the molars on the diagram. They are usually removed once they come in.

2

Sample Response Student addresses the prompt by explaining the purpose of two types of teeth and mentions “other teeth” without specific names or details.There are many types of teeth. They are used for eating food. The incisors are in the front and help chop food. The biggest teeth are the molars. They help me grind food. The diagram shows where all of the teeth are.

1Sample Response Student recognizes there are many teeth in the diagram but has no specific names or details about the teeth.There are a lot of teeth. I use them to eat food. Some are big. Some are small. One time I bit my brother because he took my toy.

0 Sample Response Student does not connect the text to the diagram at all.I have teeth.

18. How does the diagram and text help readers understand the types of teeth and their uses? 3.7

Scoring notes: “Teacher Language”Student gives essential elements of a complete interpretation: Essential elements include showing the relationships of the diagram( labeling of the teeth) to the information presented in the text (i.e. incisors are located in the front of the mouth, molars are in the backsufficient relevant evidence: Students should state the use for each type of tooth using details from the text. Students should also include evidence from the diagram (i.e. shape and/or location, description and use of each type of tooth). Focused and organized and consistently addressing: The focus on relationship between the diagram and the text is consistent throughout the student’s writing. The sentences vary in length and interest depending on the point the student is making about the topic.

Here is a link to some facts about Mt. Everest. http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hillary/archive/evefacts.htm

Climbing Mount Everest

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. Many believe it is the ultimate mountain to climb. It sits in the Himalayan mountain range. It is north of India in a country called Nepal. Everest is over 5 miles above sea level. That’s about 110 city blocks. The mountain is named after a man named Sir George Everest. He was a British general who lived in India in the 1800's.

For over one hundred years, people tried again and again to climb the towering mountain. Unfortunately, they always failed. These brave climbers endured harsh mountain conditions. Mount Everest has high winds and freezing temperatures. The air is thin and there is a risk of avalanches. In 1953, two men were able to reach the top of Mount Everest. It took the two men over two months.

Norman G. Dyhrenfurth was the first brave American to reach the top of Mount Everest. He reached the summit in 1963. Since then only a few others have been able to reach the top. Only the most courageous climbers attempt to reach the summit. Do you think you could do it?

Types of Teeth 1Everyone has several different types of teeth. Each type has a unique name and a different purpose. The teeth in the front of your mouth, and the easiest to see, are called incisors. There are four incisors on the top and four on the bottom. Incisors are shaped like tiny chisels with flat ends that are sharp. These teeth are used for cutting and chopping food. They are the first teeth to chew most food we eat.

2The pointed teeth on either side of your incisors are called canine teeth. People have a total of four canine teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. Because they are pointed and sharp, they are used to tear food.

3Next to your canine teeth are the first molars. You have eight premolars in all, four on top and four on the bottom. They have a completely different shape than both the incisors and canines. That is because first molars are bigger, stronger, and have ridges – all of which makes them perfect for crushing and grinding food.

4Finally, there are your second molars. You have eight of these, four on the top and four on the bottom. Molars are the toughest of the teeth. They are wider and stronger than premolars, and they have more ridges. Molars work closely with your tongue to help you swallow food. The tongue sweeps chewed food to the back of your mouth, where the molars grind it until it is mashed up and ready to be swallowed.

Page 20: Grade 3 Teacher Directions C ommon  F ormative  A ssessment

Types of Teeth (continued)

5By age twenty, four more molars grow in the back of the mouth, one in each corner. These are called the wisdom teeth. People do not need wisdom teeth now, but many years ago these teeth were necessary to help people chew tough plants, which were an important part of the human diet. Now, many people get their wisdom teeth pulled by a dentist (a doctor who takes care of teeth) to keep them from crowding their other teeth.

5The next time you eat, pay attention to which teeth do which jobs. Having a cookie? Incisors do a good job of biting into that tasty treat. What about a carrot? Those molars get the job done, not the teeth in front. How about a slice of pizza or a piece of bread? Your canines will help you tear at the food, and your premolars and molars will help you grind up that pepperoni pizza or peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
