Today, we analyzed strategies for responding to vocabulary in context questions followed by a review of Kaitlin's homework . In order to check Kaitlin's understanding and process when she selects the correct answer, I always explain and discuss why that answer is correct. For example, today in dealing with"according to the text" questions, I had Kaitlin identify what sentence(s) or phrases supported her (correct ) answer. We studied how these types of questions typically simply restate in the answer a portion of the passage. We then studied grammar specifically subject-verb agreement, run-ons , and fragments. I emphasized how often the incorrect answer choices create a run-on or fragment.
