What is extended constructed response

Beginning with the 2022–2023 school year, Reading/Language Arts
assessments will include an extended-constructed response, or
essay, at every grade level. They will also include short-constructed
response questions. Students will be asked to write the essay in
response to a reading selection and will write in one of two modes:
informational or argumentative.

How is the Extended Constructed Response graded?

❖

The five-point rubric for extended-constructed responses includes two main
components:

1.

organization and development of ideas

2.

language conventions.

❖

A response earns a specific score point based on the ideas and language
conventions of that particular response as measured against the rubric.

❖

The annotation that accompanies each response is specific to that response
and was written to illustrate how the language of the rubric is applied to
elements of the response to determine the score the response received.

❖

Extended constructed responses are scored by two different scorers, and the
scores are summed to create a student’s final score, so students may receive
up to 10 points for their essay.
