Extended Constructed Response

How does an ECR differ from a multiple-choice question?

• An ECR requires students to select the correct answer from given options.

• An ECR requires students to construct their own responses, while multiple-choice questions provide options for students to select from.

• An ECR is a type of multiple-choice question with more than one correct answer.

• An ECR is easier than a multiple-choice question because it has fewer options.

What is an Extended Constructed Response (ECR)?

• A type of assessment where students provide a detailed answer to a question, demonstrating their understanding of a topic through explanation, reasoning, and evidence.

• A short answer format that requires students to respond in one or two sentences.

• An assessment method that focuses solely on multiple-choice questions.

• A standardized test format used for evaluating student performance.

What is the significance of revising an ECR?

• It allows students to improve their arguments, fix errors, and enhance the overall quality of their response.

• It helps students memorize facts without understanding them.

• It is a way to submit work without any changes.

• It serves as a final step before grading, ensuring no mistakes are made.

What is the importance of clarity in an ECR?

• Clarity ensures that the reader understands the student's argument and the evidence presented, making the response more effective.

• Clarity is not important as long as the content is rich.

• Clarity only matters in the introduction of the ECR.

• Clarity helps in making the ECR longer and more detailed.
