LEAP WRITING QUESTIONS

Part 2

Part 1

Part 3

There are two types of writing on LEAP: Extended Response questions and Constructed Response questions. Read below to find out how to tell the difference and what to do for each one!

What they look like

Extended REsponse

CONSTRUCTED REsponse

EXTENDED responses are testing your ability to present a claim with supporting information with evidence from your social studies knowledge and the sources. These prompts typically use words like "evaluate" or "analyze" and are followed a statement like this: As you write, be sure to do the following:

• Provide a claim that answers all parts of the prompt.
• Support your claim with information and examples from your knowledge of social studies and evidence from the sources.
• Provide explanations and reasoning that show how your knowledge and evidence support your claim.

CONSTRUCTED responses are testing your ability to provide an answer that shows off your social studies knowledge. These prompts always ask you to explain two topics (two causes; a cause and an impact; two examples, etc). These prompts are followed by this phrase: As you write, be sure to fully answer all parts of the prompt using information and examples from your knowledge of social studies.

WHAT TO DO

Extended REsponse

CONSTRUCTED REsponse

When writing an EXTENDED response, you need to develop a claim sentence that provides a single, clear answer to the question. Then, use your prior knowledge to establish some historical context - maybe explain what has led to this event or define a key term. Then, use cited evidence from the sources to support your claim. Finish up by writing a conclusion that explains how the evidence and your prior knowledge make your claim a good answer to the prompt. The EXTENDED response is worth four points. You get a point for having a correct claim that does more than restate the prompt, using prior knowledge correctly, using cited evidence correctly, and explaining how your evidence proves your claim correctly.

When writing a CONSTRUCTED response, decide on TWO examples that you can explain in detail. Then, use your prior knowledge to explain as much as you can. You do not need to use text evidence for this type of question. The CONSTRUCTED response is worth 4 points. You get two points for each example - one for correctly identifying an example and one for correctly explaining it.
