  1. OGT ACADEMIC ASSEMBLIES 5 Days until the OGT

  2. OGT Academic Assemblies • Today we will focus on: • What will it be like the week of testing. • Scoring Constructed Responses. This will help you better understand what the test scorers are looking for when they read and score your answers.

  3. March 16th-20th • Testing begins March 16th with Reading, followed by Math, Writing, Science and Social Studies. • Each day you are to report directly to the commons, find your assigned seat, and clear your table. • Bring with you pencils, a book to read silently, or work to complete when you are finished. • Dress WARM it is chilly in the commons. • You will be in the commons from 7:20-10:30 am. • Make sure you eat a big breakfast before coming to school. • Be on time to school. • Do not schedule Dr. appointments in the morning, because you cannot leave testing once you have started.

  4. Any questions about testing?

  5. What are constructed responses? • Constructed responses equal 1/3 of the overall points on the Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies OGTs. • You cannot pass the OGTs without answering the constructed response questions!! (see point values on blueprints) • They include short answer questions worth 2 points each and extended response questions worth 4 points each.

  6. Practice scoring • Begin with the Social Studies History Question 35. • Read the prompt and think about your answer. • Review each student answer and give it a score from 0-2 with zero being no credit and 2 equaling full credit. • Did they answer all parts of the question completely?

  7. History Answers • Dangerous machinery = 2 points • During the 19th century = 1 point • In the 19th century = 0 points • How did you come up with your answers?

  8. Practice scoring Reading • Read the story prompt to yourself. • Think about how you would answer the question. • Read each sample response and give it a score from 0-4. • Refer to the 4 pt response rubric when scoring.

  9. Reading Answers • One reference the author makes is = 4 points • The author describes = 3 points • In this passage = 2 points • Characters would be an example = 1 point • The author uses a lot of = 0 points • How did you come to these conclusions?

  10. Additional Practice • OGT Teachers • Open Score a constructed response • Select Science; 2008; Physical Sciences; Question 29 • Answer the question independently • View a 2 point answer and then compare it to yours
