A Quick
Write is a short written response (2-10 minutes) to an open-ended question
or prompt. This strategy is an excellent way for students to practice
responding to an open-ended question that is connected to a text.
Strategy Steps:
- Students
read a text.
- The
teacher provides an open-ended question, such as "What is the most
important thing you learned about Percy in Chapter 1? How did the author
show this about Percy? Write in complete sentences and provide one specific
example as evidence from the text."
- Depending on the question, give students 2 to 10 minutes to write their response.
You can choose not to
grade quick writes, or you can use a rubric to grade quick writes quickly. You can
download the quick write rubric I use with my students below.
