Further Explanation

Este ejemplo de evaluación requiere que los estudiantes respondan a una pregunta sobre un texto, lo cual demuestre su comprensión de la información en el texto. La evidencia textual usada por los estudiantes debe ayudar al maestro a evaluar el nivel de comprensión que han alcanzado los estudiantes.

Students need to understand how literary and informational texts are constructed in order to provide a reasonable response that could be supported by the text. Although reflective of a personal interpretation of the text, written responses should not be based solely on personal experience or opinion.
a text that presents information to explain, clarify, and/or educate
written works that are generally recognized as having artistic value and have the purpose of entertaining the reader (e.g., prose fiction, drama, poetry, and literary nonfiction)
Students should communicate in writing their understanding of a text's purpose, key ideas, overall messages, and impact on the reader. The length of the students’ responses will vary based on the specific demands of the assignment, but responses should be long enough to accurately convey understanding.
