Extended Response Practice
Springboard 1.21
The Strategy
• Assertion
• Example
• Commentary
The Question
• List the five attributes that are required to be
“receiver of memory”. Identify at least three
of these attributes that Jonas possesses using
textual evidence from the novel to support
your analysis. Be sure to analyze how each
attribute will contribute to Jonas’s success as
the “receiver”.
Trade and Grade
• Underline the assertion – be sure that it clearly
states the writer’s opinion regarding the three
attributes (traits) that Jonas Possesses.
• Put a check mark next to each piece of textual
evidence from the novel that supports the
analysis.
• Finally put a “C” next to the commentary when
the writer explains each piece of textual evidence
and how they are proof that Jonas possesses the
attribute (trait).
Sample Proficient Response
• Underline Assertion:
• Example: intelligence, integrity, courage,
wisdom and the ability to see beyond. Jonas
possesses at least three of these traits
required to be the Receiver: intelligence,
courage and the ability to see beyond.
Sample Proficient Response
• Check for textual evidence and commentary
• In the novel it says, “Jonas was careful with
language” (p3). This quote is proof that Jonas
was very intelligent. He received good grades
and spoke with intelligence. This trait will help
Jonas be a receiver because he can learn and
understand quickly because he is already
smart.
Sample Proficient Response
• Check for textual evidence and commentary
• In the novel it also says Jonas had, “taken the apple home”
(p24). This example from the book demonstrates that
Jonas had the courage to go against the community rules if
it was needed. This is also proof that Jonas had the “sight”
because “the apple changed” (p23), but Asher couldn’t see
it. Only Jonas could see the change. Jonas’s courage and
ability to see beyond will make him a good receiver
because he will be able to face the challenges of physical
pain bravely and he will be able to understand what the
community can not.
