Making Accounts
Scenario One: Formative Assessment with Tutoring.
Open Response Student Critique
• Students complete an MCAS Open Response Question independently
• Teacher selects 3-5 responses anonymously for students to grade and critique
• Students grade ORQ on a 4 point scale and provide an explanation to justify their score
• Class regroups and discusses critiqueso What makes a strong response?o How was the use of vocabulary?o What could be added to strengthen this answer?o Is the response clear and concise?
• Makes students more aware and provides an opportunity to reflect on their individual responses
Sample Item Report
