We read an article on Asteroids and Dinosaurs which discussed good scientific practices and the study of how dinosaurs became extinct. After we completed the reading as a class highlighting the main ideas in each paragraph the students were challenged to attempt some follow-up questions.
The final question was a constructed response. We supplied the students with:
1. A product descriptor on a scientific constructed responses and
2. A rubric on how we assess scientific constructed responses.
The students have until Wednesday to make any changes to their responses. Today we supplied them with anchor constructed responses showing them what a "meets" and "exceeds" looked like.
