- Look at student work and writing samples then have students revise work to show improvement

- Use sample parcc released items during small group instruction to build stamina and get students used to the format of the questions

Students become the teacher

I would have my students read and analyze sample written responses and give each response a grade.

1. Build stamina for reading longer texts as cold reads.

2. Use resources to practice A and B questions and develop strategies to answer.

Practice sample assessments on line. Share examples of written responses and how they are scored using the rubric.

Take the practice tests and go over the answers. Practice reading a selection and making a graphic organizer to help address the prompt. Practice taking Part A and Part B answers.

Close reading activities for texts currently used in class, paired with two part questions modeled after the PARCC format.

Build stamina by providing opportunities to compare multiple sources and take notes on these sources to show understanding of key ideas and supporting details. Pair this with a writing prompt.

Review anchor charts (RACE / ANSWER) and create an activity to go with the anchor chart.

Have them access resources and practice reading/answering/scoring sample questions.

They can score their own and each other's writing samples based on rubrics.

I would introduce Part A and Part B

Next I would have the class read and score responses so they could understand the scoring.

Have students become award of what's expected with the scoring process. Next have them comfortable with the process of reading and answering the questions.
