Please note whether your direction states that you must write an "extended response." For example, " In an extended response, explain whether the title is appropriate for the story." You can see the words..."extended response." That means you would include examples and details to support your explanation. It also means that you would include your own ideas and experiences.

In the following direction..." Explain how the cowboy's dream began to dissolve. Use details from the text to support your explanation." In this response, you should cite specific details from the beginning, the middle , and the end of the reading passage which support your explanation.
