Pictures+by+Grade

=Below are some examples of teachers from different grade levels creating their own STAAR camera questions.=

=Feedback has been left for them to help them improve.= =Kinder=
 * Feedback**: Rephrase the question so that the students are doing the work and you're not asking a question that gets a one word answer.

“Look at the picture. Write a **compound sentence** stating **how she is feeling** and **what you think is making her feel this way**.”

The rephrasing of the question promotes several things:
 * It gets the students to make a complete thought
 * It assesses whether or not they know how to make a compound sentence
 * It assesses their inferencing skills

=First=

=Second=


 * Feeback**: Make the question more multi-step.

“Astronauts are going into space. The middle of their space shuttle is shaped like a **cube**. **Each** side has the same number of windows. **Show** how many windows the space shuttle has. The rephrasing of this question promotes several things:
 * It assesses whether or not they know what a cube is
 * It assesses whether or not they know how to add and/or multiply to find their answer
 * It allows them to choose how to show their work whether it be a picture, a number sentence, etc.

=Third=


 * Feedback**: You can extend the question more by adding vocabulary and word form of the numbers.

“You like to provide **eighteen** teachers at your school fruit every morning. A **third** of these teachers like apples, **half** of them like oranges, and the **remaining** **few** like bananas. If each teacher received one piece of their favorite fruit each day for three complete school weeks, how many apples and oranges will need to be purchased for them?” The rephrasing of this question promotes more vocabulary:
 * It assesses their knowledge of math vocabulary terms
 * It provides number words instead of just numbers
 * It provides the student doing the action/job (relates to real life)
