What is the question/topic/prompt?
Look for words like what, who, when, where, why, which, and/or how
in the question
1. Red W. - What is/are the answer(s)?
The answer has to clearly respond to the question being asked to get a one/1 point.
(number, grid, symbol, word, phrase, sentence, equation/inequality, table, graph, multi-part, drag & drop)
Use W.O.W. to think of different ways to answer the question in a complete sentence:
Restate/Repeat:
WOW What Original Words from the question can use to help me respond?
NOTE: This does NOT mean that I have to restate or repeat the question/prompt several times. That would be repetitious and formulaic!
REPHRASE!
What Other Words can I use? (synonyms/wow words)
REFLECT!
What Other way can I start my sentence? (different parts of speech)
What Original Way can I respond? Words Of Wisdom? (Quote/Truism)
2. Yellow W. - Where can I support my answer using the passage/selection?
What section/paragraph/sentence(s) can I use as evidence?
If the question and my answer has two parts, the textual evidence I use must relate to both parts.
3. Green E. - Example(s) & Explain (Development)
The Example(s) I use and the way I Explain it/them must clearly relate to my answer(s)/red light,
AND my textual evidence/support/yellow light in order to qualify for a three.
