answers were found to be too short. These Open Responses may be tied to any
of the Readings which will be the Information Paragraph, News Report, Dialogue, Real-life Narrative or Graphic Text. (Remember ALL these readings will be on the test)
You are given 6 lines to answer. The answer should be a well-developed
paragraph.

Strategies for Open Response Questions Always answer these questions in 3 to 5 full
sentences Read the entire question and underline key
words, like summarize or explain. These key words tell you how to answer the question.
State the main idea of your answer in your first sentence. Write a few more sentences using one or two details from the reading to support your answer.
Visualize what you’re trying to answer in your head.
