Understanding the State Curriculum Language
Format for objectives in the V.S.C.:In the language of the objectives, the use of “including” referrers to content students should know.
The use of “such as” refers to content that may be used as examples, but students are not required to know.
![Page 11: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Understanding the State Curriculum Language
Examples Format for objectives in the V.S.C. Examples:
• Explain the powers denied to the national and state governments including: bills of attainder, ex post facto laws and the suspension of habeas corpus in the Constitution.
• Describe how the Constitution provides for checks and balances, such as legislative overrides of vetoes.

Copies of Previously Released Government H.S.A.’s
The items on the Public Release Forms of the Government High School Assessment represent a fair measure of the Social Studies Core Learning Goals for Government — Political Systems, Peoples of the Nation and World, Geography, and Economics. Users of these items should take into consideration the following information:
• All items have been taken from previously field tested forms, have produced good psychometric data, and are statistically reliable.
• Each form is approximately 30 minutes shorter than the version students will take during a formal test administration because the forms do not include field test items.
• There are items of all difficulty levels (easy, medium, and hard) on the public release forms.
• Each item represents only one way to measure an indicator.
• The items measure students' skills and knowledge of content as directed by the Core Learning Goal indicators as designated for the Government High School Assessment.
• All item formats — selected response, brief constructed response, and extended constructed response — are represented.

H.S.A. Writing Rubric

Practice Scoring Constructed Response Items with the Rubric• Your group will be given 4 constructed response items
which range in scores from 1 to 4.
• Your group will have to decide which constructed response item you would give a score of 1, 2, 3, and 4 to. Place the score on a post-it note on the response paper.
• Be ready to share your findings and explain why you assigned the scores to each of the responses.
![Page 35: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Practice Scoring Constructed Response Items with the Rubric Constructed Response Example:
In a civil case, plaintiffs and defendants often reach out-of court settlements instead of bringing a case to trial.
• Describe the advantages and disadvantages of an out-of-court settlement.
• Should judges and attorneys encourage out-of-court settlements? Explain why or why not.
• Include examples and details to support your answers.
Rank each constructed response item from 1-4 using your H.S.A. Rubric

Constructed Response Item “A”
Score:
Explanation:
3 points
This response shows some understanding of the issues involved in out-of-court settlements. The student provides accurate, supported concepts by addressing the potential advantages (speedy resolution; reduced fees) and disadvantages (agreement may not follow the law; plaintiff may not get as much money). In the analysis of the legal system and the evaluation of why these types of settlements may be unwise (our court system was built to interpret the laws), some evidence of higher order thinking is demonstrated.
![Page 37: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Constructed Response Item “B”
Score:
Explanation:
1 point
This response shows minimal knowledge. A couple of skeletal ideas are provided (goes by faster; judges and attorneys…do less work) to describe the advantages and disadvantages of out-of-court settlements.
![Page 38: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Constructed Response Item “C”
Score:
Explanation:
2 points
This response shows knowledge of issues surrounding out-of-court settlements. Appropriate ideas are provided (it is faster; probably get closer to what you want; they could fight or do something they wouldn’t do in a court). A key idea is then completed (judges should only encourage out-of-court settlements if it is a small situation, otherwise judges should hear the case to make the best decision to benefit both the people).
![Page 39: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Constructed Response Item “D”
Score:
Explanation:
4 points
This response shows understanding of the issues surrounding out-of-court settlements. Accurate, well supported concepts are given (courts are extremely backed up; costs money to the taxpayer). Powerful evidence of higher order thinking is provided in the analysis of how out-of-court settlements benefit individual interests and hinder community interests (justice may not entirely prevail and lawful behavior is, to a certain extent, discouraged as it seems money can buy immunity) and in the insightful deduction that encouraging these settlements is, in essence, discounting the Constitution (it is their {judges and attorneys} duty to enforce laws according to their interpretation of the Constitution; Constitution does not provide for individuals who wish to save themselves bad publicity and therefore pay to avoid court cases).
![Page 40: Government H.S.A. 101 Missy Parsons. Introductions Name School How long have you been teaching? What do you teach (besides government) What do you hope.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf9b1a28abf838c928f3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Constructed Responses The RACER strategy can be used to help struggling writers answer constructed responses effectively:
Restate the question in your opening sentence. Answer the bulleted points Cite examples Explain your examples Restate the question in your conclusion
