I wanted to take an opportunity to share information about a new blog that has been started by my colleague, Mary Ellen Caesar, Literacy Specialist for the Southeast region. She recently posted about the scoring of open response questions (something I am often asked about but defer to her expertise) and includes information about an instructional routine that supports proficient response to text.
You can find her blog here: http://literacyplate.blogspot.com/ (PLATE: Practical Literacy Aids for Today's Educators...yes, we are the queens of acronyms). I hope you'll check it out and share with your colleagues ... Mary Ellen has lots of valuable information to share around literacy!
