Do your students struggle with Extended Constructed Responses or answering Text Dependent Questions? Are you searching for Constructed Response Graphic Organizers and passages to practice with?

This low prep product is a RACES or RACE Writing Strategy Resource to help struggling writers with constructed responses and answering Text Dependent Questions. GREAT FOR ELA TEST PREP!

This resource uses the RACES or RACE Strategy Writing and comes with anchor charts and samples to use a models.

Most of my students not only struggles with restating and answering the question (R & A), but more importantly, they need more practice with citing (C), RELEVANT evidence and then explaining (E) it IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

This resource includes 10 engaging, informative passages that are both PRINTABLE and DIGITAL in Google Slides.

• Passages 1-6 focus on famous inventions
• Passages 6-10 focus on animals or insects

Both versions include a scaffolded graphic organizer with sentence stems to help support struggling writers, included MLL and special education students.

RACE or RACES rubric and checklist are included to set clear expectations and ensure student success! Great support for ELA state standardized tests!!
