Please write your outline and essay on this document: Constructed Response #3-3.docx
This assignment addresses an STR sample exam question. For this response, you will consider a student’s needs in both Word Recognition (RDNG 351 elements) and Language Comprehension (RDNG 373 elements). Carefully read the General Directions and Sample Assignment, then study the 4 Exhibits. Note how the information is compiled in the two Sample Responses and Rationales at the bottom of the page. Your essay must consider different needs and must suggest different strategies than those presented in the sample essays. PLEASE NOTE: I strongly encourage you NOT to read the sample essays until after you have completed your outline.
The sample question may be found here: Preparation Manual (nesinc.com)Links to an external site. https://www.tx.nesinc.com/Content/StudyGuide/TX_SG_CRI_293.htm
You will write your own response by following this structure:
Paragraph 1: Identify one significant need that the student demonstrates related to Word Recognition and cite specific evidence from the relevant exhibits to support your analysis. Your first sentence should introduce the subject of your essay. Consider incorporating an appositive. (who, what)
Paragraph 2: Describe one appropriate, effective instructional strategy or activity that would address the student’s need related to Word Recognition and help the student achieve relevant grade-level standards. Use an approach from TRS or Reading Rockets. (how)
