Extended Response  \nLearning Objectives  \nBy the end of this lesson, you will be able to:  \n• Analyze an argument and plan a thoughtful response to that argument as instructed by the prompt  \n• Meet the requirements for the Extended Response portion of the RLA Test  \nThe RLA Extended Response  \nThe Extended Response requires reading two passages and writing an analysis about the two passages using the text box.  \nYou will have 45 minutes to read, plan, type, and revise your response.  \nThe RLA Extended Response  \nYour Extended Response (ER) score makes up about 20% of your total RLA score.  \nER responses are scored based on three traits: analysis, development and organization, and writing conventions.  \nExtended Response Answer Guidelines  \nThese guidelines are provided to you while you test. You should read and memorize these guidelines before you take the test so you can focus on analyzing and responding for the entire 45 minutes.  \n1. Please note that this task must be completed in no more than 45 minutes. However, don’t  \nrush through your response. Be sure to read through the passage(s) and the prompt. Then think about the message you want to convey in your response. Be sure to plan your response before you begin writing. Draft your response and revise it as needed.  \n2. Fully answering an ER prompt often requires 4 to 7 paragraphs of 3 to 7 sentences each—that can quickly add up to 300 to 500 words of writing! A response that is significantly shorter could put you in danger of scoring a 0 just for not showing enough of your writing skills.  \nExtended Response Answer Guidelines  \nThese guidelines are provided to you while you test. You should read and memorize these guidelines before you take the test so you can focus on analyzing and responding for the entire 45 minutes.  \n3. As you read, think carefully about the argumentation presented in the passage(s) .  \n\n| “Argumentation” refers to the assumptions, claims, support, reasoning, and credibility on which a |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| position is based. | Pay close attention to how the author(s) use these strategies to convey his or |\n\nher positions.  \nExtended Response Answer Guidelines  \n4. When you write your essay, be sure to:  \n• determine which position presented in the passage(s) is better supported by evidence from the passage(s)  \n• explain why the position you chose is the better-supported one  \n• remember, the better-supported position is not necessarily the position you agree with  \n• defend your assertions with multiple pieces of evidence from the passage(s)  \n• build your main points thoroughly  \n• put your main points in logical order and tie your details to your main points  \n• organize your response carefully and consider your audience, message, and purpose  \n• use transitional words and phrases to connect sentences, paragraphs, and ideas  \n• choose words carefully to express your ideas clearly  \n• vary your sentence structure to enhance the flow and clarity of your response  \n• reread and revise your response to correct any errors in grammar, usage, or punctuation  \nArguments and Evidence  \nYour response to the writing assignment will be based on identifying which writer’s argument is stronger and identifying and describing supporting evidence.  \nAn argument includes:  \n•a conclusion statement, or claim. This is the point the author is trying to make.  \n•evidence, which provides support for the author’s claim.  \n•a premise, which is an unstated assumption that must be true in order for the argument to be logical.  \nArguments and Evidence  \nBefore you get to passages, use the prompt to quickly define the specific task you are asked to write  \nabout.  \nIdentify what the writing assignment is about.  \nTwo passages about clean coal  \nRephrase the task into the form of a question.  \nWhich passage is better supported?  \nDetermine what you are asked to include.  \nSpecific and relevant information from the text.  \nThe RLA Extended Response Process  \nThere are fiv","cbCairlacyuT9L04","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairlacyuT9L04","pdf",788109,41,"English","# Learning Objectives\n# The RLA Extended Response\n## Scoring Traits\n## Answer Guidelines\n# Arguments and Evidence\n# The RLA Extended Response Process\n## Step 1\n## Step 2\n## Step 3\n## Step 4\n## Step 5","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of the GED RLA Extended Response lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Analyze an argument and plan a thoughtful response following the prompt, and understand the requirements of the Extended Response portion of the RLA test.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Extended Response (ER) scored?\",\"answer\":\"ER responses are scored using three traits: analysis, development and organization, and writing conventions.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the five steps to complete the RLA Extended Response?\",\"answer\":\"Read Passage #1, read Passage #2, develop your argument using evidence from both passages, type the response including an introduction and conclusion, then proofread and fix grammar and clarity issues.\"}]","GED - RLA - Extended Response | PDF",103]
