Post date: Oct 30, 2017 12:05:36 AM

To help you answer a prompt

Think about R-A-C-E, think about the things in this song

To help you do your very best job

Are you ready to begin now?

Ooh, first you will RESTATE the question

Take the words and then you flip them to a sentence

Then you go ahead and you ANSWER it

Ooh, then you will CITE strong text evidence

Select your quotes, yeah they’re right there out of the text

Then EXPLAIN why the quotes prove it

Now let’s zoom in on the “C”

First you introduce the text, then give a location next

“According to _____ (blank), on page ____ (blank)...”

Then you’re ready to write the quote

Ooh, first you will RESTATE the question

Take the words and then you flip them to a sentence

Then you go ahead and you ANSWER it

Ooh, then you will CITE strong text evidence

Select your quotes, yeah they’re right there out of the text

Then EXPLAIN why the quotes prove it

Now we end with “E”

Why does your quote prove your answer?

Tell your reader so they see

Explaining why's the ultimate key

"This proves that _______ (blank) because of ______ (blank)..."

Make sure your reason's really strong

Convince your reader or your answer will crumble

End POWERFULLY

Is it complete?

Is it strong?

Is it convincing?

Is it detailed?

Is it developed?

Is it the BEST answer yet?

Ooh, first you will RESTATE the question

Take the words and then you flip them to a sentence

Then you go ahead and you ANSWER it

Ooh, first you will RESTATE the question

Take the words and then you flip them to a sentence

Then you go ahead and you ANSWER it

Ooh, then you will CITE strong text evidence

Select your quotes, yeah they’re right there out of the text

Then EXPLAIN why the quotes prove it

And that's how you write a RACE response.
