The other 5% usually don’t have enough unique writing to be able to be graded and are then hand-graded.  \n• A student could have one or two passages. One passage can contain both sides of the argument.  \nPennsylvania Adult Education Resources 4  \nReasoning Through Language Arts (RLA)– Extended Response  \nTop Student Challenges  \n• Response is not expected to be perfect.  \n• Just addressing pros and cons, they need to do more than read and summarize.  \n• The test is looking for an  argumentative essay, NOT an  opinion piece.  \n• Not using their own words – not enough original text to be scored.  \nPennsylvania Adult Education Resources 5  \nReasoning Through Language Arts (RLA)– Extended Response  \nResources for Supporting Students  \n• Alice Videos on website (8-part series)  \n• Use AI to create passages in response to a reading and have students use a rubric to pick out characteristics that make it strong or weak.  \n• Sentence Frames:   is best supported because   .  \n• Glossary of Key Terms in RLA Assessment Guide  \n•  Extended Response Resource Guide for Adult Educators  \nPennsylvania Adult Education Resources 6  \nMathematics  \n• Guaranteed to have one or two ordering questions on the noncalculator section.
