Reading and Short Answers:
The students are required to complete two short answer responses on the test. Satisfactory and accomplished responses are seen when using the APE strategy. The most important aspects in answering a short answer question (open ended response) are making a reasonable and valid assertion and providing text evidence (USE A QUOTE) that supports the assertion made. The student CANNOT receive a satisfactory grade without either of these two items.
A - Make an ASSERTION (Answer the question being asked using a complete sentence)
P - Prove your answer with a quote from the text
E - Explain the quote in relation to your answer
Review the literary terms below. You may go to the quizlet website and complete different activities and quizzes containing the literary terms content.
Practice your multiple choice and short answer skills using the practice tests below. The answers to the multiple choice questions can be found on the TEA website, http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/staar/testquestions/. REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE USUALLY MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS THAT CAN SUPPORT/HELP YOU WITH YOUR SHORT ANSWER RESPONSES.
