Please feel free to download and print as many or as few pages as you need.  \nThe Key: A quick overview of the essence of what is asked for in each openended question.  \n“Opportunity”: Dr. Don suggests ways that you might use to expand students’ awareness as a result of questions in the Practice Test.  \nA reminder that unexpected or extraordinary answers should be accepted.  \nA. Language/Reading  \nOn the next page is the Generic Reading Rubric provided by the Ministry of Education, and used by EQAO officials to create the specific rubrics for the open-ended questions on the EQAO test.  \nAfter the generic rubric, you will find several pages of examples of possible answers to the specific questions in the Prep4Success Primary Division Practice test. Of course, Dr. Don has used the same generic rubric in developing the scoring rubrics for the open-ended questions on our EQAO Practice Test.  \nGeneric Reading Rubric for EQAO Assessment  \n\n| B | • blank: nothing written or drawn in the space provided |\n| --- | --- |\n| I | • illegible: cannot be read; completely crossed out/erased; not written in English\u003Cbr>• irrelevant content: does not attempt assigned question (e . g . , comment on the task , drawings , “?”, “!”, “I don’t know”)\u003Cbr>• off topic: no relationship of written work to the question |\n| 10 | • response does not refer to ideas and information from the reading selection\u003Cbr>• response indicates a significant misunderstanding of the reading selection; ideas and information from the reading selection are inaccurate |\n| 20 | • response addresses only part of the question\u003Cbr>• response is developed with limited support; ideas and information from the reading selection are minimal, vague and/or ir rel evan |\n| 30 | • response addresses the complete question\u003Cbr>• response is developed with some accurate, specific and relevant ideas and information from the reading selection; some ideas and information are inaccurate, vague and/or irrelevant |\n| 40 | • response addresses the complete question\u003Cbr>• response is developed with accurate, specific and relevant ideas and information from the reading selection |\n\nLet’s see if we can simplify these rubrics for you.  \n\n| B | • blank : nothing written or drawn in the space provided |\n| --- | --- |\n\nThis is easy: B stands for “blank.” The student has given no response. The mark is zero.  \nStudents should be encouraged to attempt every question. Some students who feel that they don’t know the “whole” answer are reluctant to give a partial response. As you will see from the scoring rubrics, almost any  \nresponse to a question, even a very poor response, earns a score of 10. Encourage your students to use Dr. Don’s strategy of underlining the key words in the question as a method of getting started on an answer.  \n\n| I | • illegible: cannot be read; completely crossed out/erased; not written in English\u003Cbr>• irrelevant content: does not attempt assigned question (e . g . , comment on the task , drawings , “?”, “!”, “I don’t know”)\u003Cbr>• off topic: no relationship of written work to the question |\n| --- | --- |\n\nWhile the EQAO markers will make every effort to decipher poor handwriting, in the end they can’t mark what they can’t read.  \nThere are numerous handwriting practice units available for free on the internet. Encourage parents to do some homework with their child.  \n10-40  \nFor the scoring rubrics 10-40, think poor (10), fair (20), good (30), excellent (40) .  \nThis terminology is not used by EQAO, but I feel you’ll find it quite helpful, especially when communicating with parents. It’s amazing how this “easy to use” mindset ends up being very reliable.  \nBeing an experienc","cbCaiimRdyNzqC7j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiimRdyNzqC7j","pdf",711132,24,"English","# Scoring Open-ended Questions\n## Key Overview and Opportunity Guidance\n## Generic Reading Rubric for EQAO Assessment\n## Simplifying Rubric Terms (Blank/Illegible/Off-topic)\n## Interpreting Scores 10–40\n## Dr. Don’s Suggested Procedure For Scoring\n## Specific Rubrics (Oak Island)\n## Question 7 Evidence for Human-Made Treasure Pit","[{\"question\":\"What does the resource recommend for handling unexpected or extraordinary student answers?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a reminder that unexpected or extraordinary answers should be accepted.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the generic reading rubric used for EQAO open-ended questions?\",\"answer\":\"The document explains that a generic reading rubric provided by the Ministry of Education is used to create specific rubrics for open-ended questions on the EQAO test.\"},{\"question\":\"What procedure does the resource suggest before beginning to mark student responses?\",\"answer\":\"Before marking, the guide recommends reading the story twice, reading the question and formulating a personal answer, reviewing key information, and studying the descriptors.\"}]","Grade 6 EQAO - Teacher Resource for Understanding Rubrics - Scoring Open-ended Questions | PDF",1790764817]
