Teaching constructed responses can be daunting... I’m here to show you a creative way to build your constructed responses up to the top tier! Writing strong constructed responses doesn’t begin right before testing season—it starts at the very beginning of the year with intentional modeling, practice, and scaffolding. Let’s get these kids out of the “not quite there” column and start filling up the “Yes!” column.
