Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: Rewrite: the cat sleeps.
- Connect the response to: Choose the complete sentence.
- Ask students to apply the idea: Write a complete sentence about something you can see.
Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
