Due Unit 7) Prepare Text-Based Questions across Sources using the following guidelines:
- Read page 102 from the Mississippi ELA Curriculum Guide (available at https://districtaccess.mde.k12.ms.us/curriculumandInstruction/MississippiCurriculumFrame works/ELA/2016-MS-CCRS-ELA.pdf and copied into Canvas.
- Go to https://www.sunsigns.org/famousbirthdays/d/profile/ruby-bridges/ and study the information about Ruby Bridges.
- Go to http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/ruby-bridges/ruby-bridges-for-kids.htm and study the three sections on Ruby Bridges.
- Pay particular attention to the images as well as the text.
- Write 4 text-dependent questions pertaining to the life of Ruby Bridges. Each question will be scored according to this checklist:
- The standard measured is copied and bolded prior to the question stem.
- The question assesses understanding of the designated standard.
- The question requires analysis of the text.
- The question requires text evidence in the response.
- A sample student response is provided.
The question format must mirror the format of the questions in the Mississippi MAP practice testlets (testlets can be found by clicking on “MAP ELA Testlets” at http://www.mde.k12.ms.us/ESE/ELA)
Sample formatting of a text-based question (Do not include the box around the sample when you write your paper):
RH.6‐8.1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources. I type my text-based question here. This question requires students to analyze one or more of the provided sources for this assignment and requires students to specifically refer to the text when answering the question.
I answer my own question, giving a response that would be scored Advanced.
