Make constructed response simple and easy with the structure of RACES. This predictable writing strategy transformed the my students' ability to respond to literature. Incorporating these posters into my lessons is one of the most valuable changes I've made in my ELA block. One small change has created lasting change in students' level of ability to respond to reading with confidence. R - Restate the question A - Answer all parts C - Cite evidence E - Explain your thinking S - Sum it up Included in this resource: 5 posters (R, A, C, E, S), each in their own 8.5 x 11 poster 5 color palettes as well as black and white posters Printable RACE(S) response sheets ( editable) Digital RACE(S) response sheets ( editable) Desk plates for easy access Editable slides - edit the text, font and color of each level RACES encourages students to answer constructed response questions completely and with details from the text. Watch your students' responses improved dramatically as constructed responses become something they no longer dread. __________________________________________________________ MORE RESOURCES YOU’LL LOVE: READING ANCHOR CHARTS BEST-SELLING STUDENT DATA NOTEBOOK LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING LEVELS OF EFFORT __________________________________________________________ Copyright © Cooties and Cuties All rights reserved by the author.

Have you seen this method of teaching paragraph writing before??? I stumbled upon this idea 6 years ago here. Then, I kind of forgot about it until now. Maybe because the next year I moved to 4th for one year, then to 2nd the following year and that's where I've been ever since! I guess all that moving around made me forget a few things! :) We've been studying main idea for the past several weeks and I thought it would be the perfect time to transition to writing paragraphs. I remembered the stoplight method and it worked great with my kiddos this time, too. Now, their topic and closing sentences are not perfect, but its a start...especially for those kiddos who had never even heard the word paragraph before! Since we've also been working on our space unit, I decided we'd write paragraphs about the moon. First, we read several books all about the moon and then made this bubble map together. Next, I had the kids make a bubble map in their journals and they picked 4 or 5 facts from our class map to add to theirs...what they wanted to include in their own paragraph. We went over the rules to writing a paragraph and the stoplight method... Obviously, the green and red lights are switched on a paragraph stoplight {as opposed to a real stoplight!}. It just makes more sense for the topic sentence to be green and for it to be at the top...like, "GO! Start your paragraph!" We wrote a paragraph together first, to practice the rules. I cut 1" strips of green, yellow, and red construction paper, and I just chose a color for the background that I knew the colors would pop against. I handed out only the green strips first and the kids wrote their topic sentences. I demonstrated this first, using the topic sentence from our class paragraph. I pointed out that they needed to start writing at the edge of the sentence strip and one of the kiddos raised their hand and said, "But, don't we need to indent???" It almost brought a tear to my eye, thinking, "Why, yes! Yes we do!!! But not yet!" Some kiddos will need more than one green strip to fit their entire topic sentence on and that is ok. When everyone was ready, I passed out 1 yellow strip and the kids got started on their supporting sentences, one at a time. Finally, we got to the closing sentences and we used the red strips. The next day, I showed them how they were going to take their sentences strips and turn it into a paragraph! First, I had them lay their sentences out on their desk in order like this... {notice some sentences take more than 1 strip} Cut off any excess on ALL of the sentences. I demonstrated how to lay their topic sentence on their paper and indent. BEFORE we glue it down, we have to see if the whole sentence will fit. If not, we cut the strip after the last word that will fit and the rest will go down on the second line. My entire topic sentence did fit, but most will not! {EDIT: A few people have left comments since I published this about how my topic sentence is not really a topic sentence. I realize I could have chosen something a little more simple, like, "There are many interesting facts about the moon." as the first sentence. However, I also feel that mine is a topic sentence, as I use the words, "The moon," at the beginning and state a simple fact to grab the readers attention! Several of our expostitory texts from our reading series included paragraphs where there was NOT a cookie cutter topic sentence, yet my students were still required to identify the main idea of the paragraph. This is just ONE example of a paragraph I used with my kiddos. I also explain to my students that the main idea is not always found in the topic sentence, but also the closing sentence. Just thought I would clarily. :) If you disagree, then that's your own cup of tea!} Here I am positioning the other sentences, and trimming after the last word that will fit on that line... I really like this activity because it's a hands-on approach to writing a paragraph. I think this helps some of the kiddos grasp the concept, "Oh, if there isn't room to write the next word, I go down to the next line and it's no big deal!" This also helps those who want to always start on a new line at the end of each sentence. They can see that they should use the rest of the space available on the line they are currently on to start the next sentence. "Don't waste any room!" I tell them. :) I can literally see that lightbulb turning on over and over again on their faces! The kids worked VERY hard on these so I decided to display it out in the hallway. I split this lesson into two days and I would highly recommend that! Here's a anchor chart displaying the stoplight paragraph if you'd like to use this in your clasroom. Just click the pic to download. I hope this all makes sense...if not feel free to email me if you have any questions!
