Tips:
- Read the prompt you will be answering, so that there is
a place in your brain to file away reasons and ideas as you
read!
- While reading, take notes on the techniques making
the $100 bill impossible to duplicate. Think about how those
ideas might apply to a student body card.

You are the an expert at scoring short answer responses now.
Go ahead and score your own writing using this criteria:
-
A
two point answer would explain how ideas and
information in the article might be used to develop student
body cards that could not be duplicated, and include TWO
supporting details from the text.
-
A
one point answer would partially explain how
ideas and information in the article might be used to develop
student body cards that could not be duplicated, but might
only discuss one text-based detail.
-
A
zero point answer might be, "I don't know."
Or it might include a detail that is not text based, or
make a statement not related to the question.
This may help identify the key elements in your writing.
If you check all three yes
buttons, chances are you earned 2 points! Way to go.
If you didn't check all three yes
buttons, take a look at what was missing, and go back and
revise your answer until you can check all three yes
buttons!
When you are totally satisfied with your answer, print the
Word document with your answer and
score for your teacher.
You've worked hard enough to move to the Self-Check.
