We encourage educators to give students the time that they need to read closely and write to the source. In this miniassessment there are selected-response questions that address the Reading Standards listed below and one constructed- response question that addresses the Writing Standards.
Questions also may address several standards within the same question because complex texts tend to yield rich assessment questions that call for deep analysis. Questions aligned to the CCSS should be worthy of students time to answer and therefore do not focus on minor points of the texts. Assessments aligned to the CCSS will employ quality, complex texts such as this one.
This text is considered to be a text worthy of students time to read and also meets the expectations for text complexity at grade 6.
