Description
In this resource – Volume 6 of our popular Think, then Write structured writing program, we teach students to write responses to short answer questions – the kinds of questions that appear in school tests and exams and require students to write short answers.
This 103-page resource is made up of five sections or modules with scaffolds, each with structured practice exercises including:
- learning key academic verbs;
- defining things when you can’t remember the dictionary definition;
- outlining process questions: how to respond in short answer questions;
- ‘recasting’ the question in the first sentence of an answer; and
- ‘describe’, ‘distinguish’, ‘explain’, and ‘justify’ questions: giving specific examples to show your knowledge.
The exercises feature high-frequency academic verbs, key strategies for answering short answer questions and real world examples of short answer questions.
With worked examples and model answers, the resource is specially for high school students and the short answer questions they are required to answer.
