Short response exemplars
NYS English Regents 2012- A pair of fairly general short response items that can be used as a model for generating formative assessment short respopnse items. The short response items appear on page 13. The second file is the scoring rubric used by NYS teachers to score these items. The rubric on page 3 is pertinent to the sample items on page 13.





NYS 8th grade ELA Test 2010- A pair of passages with graphic organizer, short response items, and an essay item that can be used as a model for generating different kinds of common formative assessments. It is an 8th grade summative assessment sample, but could act as a jumping off point for using different kinds of questions in concert as a thorough formative assessment. For our struggling students, these examples may be a good starting place to help scaffold their learning. For our on level or advanced students, the complexityof the passages and rigor of the questions needs to be increased. The second file is the scoring guide used by NYS teachers to score constructed response items. The rubric on page 11 is pertinent to the sample items.
