Short Answer Response #1 What is the significance of the title of this book?	Insufficient Response Student's response is absolutely vague and does not provide basic understanding of what is being asked. No explanation is given, or if one is given, it does not make sense. The student does not base ideas on the text/what was read, or the student's response does not provide evidence from the text.	Partially Sufficient Response Student's response is reasonable, but is missing an explanation or is not specific enough. Response only considers the most literal meaning of the text. Explanation is not specific enough. Needs more information. Text evidence is present, but inadequate: -only a general reference to the text -too partial to support the response -weakly linked to the response -misunderstands the meaning of the text	Sufficient Response Student's response is reasonable and goes beyond a literal meaning of the text. The explanation of the response is specific enough to show that the student can make connections throughout the text and draw valid conclusions. Text evidence used to support the idea is accurate and relevant. The response & text evidence used to support it are clearly linked.	Exemplary Response Student's response is perceptive and shows awareness of complexities of the text. Student develops a coherent explanation of the idea, making discerning connections across the text. Text evidence used to support the response is specific and well chosen. Overall, the evidence strongly supports the validity of the idea.
