4th - 8th Grade
The Common Core Learning Standards place great emphasis on a student's ability to use text-based evidence in written answers. "RAPS" is a teacher-tested method that provides an easy way for students to recall the organization and requirements of a text-based answer.
Best yet, it can be used in ALL content areas!
RAPS stands for the following:
Restate the topic
Answer the question
Provide specific details
Sum it up
Included in the unit:
* definitions of key terms
* RAPS poster
* graphic organizer
* worksheet
* sample (ELA) question for students to try
*I have even included an example of an exemplary response for the sample question.
Try this out, and before you know it students will read a question and know immediately if RAPS is required!
Enjoy!

This looks AWESOME! My sixers like acronyms to help them remember concepts. We've been working all year on how to answer this type of question. What a great aid this will be!
