Unit 3 Common Assessment and Test Writing

For unit 3 we need to assess the reading standards RI 8.2, RI 8.3, RI 8.9. Plus we need to stay on L.8.4 and L.8.5. 

We are using the Benedict Arnold Passages and the passage on government in the Common Core Clinic book specifically for RI 8.3. Here is a link on teaching RI 8.9. In the last paragraph it includes links to the two Benedict Arnold passages we are using on the text. I have them electronically & hard copy at school. 


WRITING QUALITY QUESTIONS: I think assessment writing is tough stuff, as we try to make the tests authentic to KPREP. I found this link to a sample test WITH explanations of questions. Scroll through and look at how the questions are written and the justifications - a great guide to help you as you write! RI 8.2 is prominently featured in the constructed response. Check it out!
