Description

Need short answer response practice? The R2D2 writing strategy is a structure to help students answer passage-based, short response questions in a formal style, with using clear reasons and evidence from the text, and to provide concluding statements.

Why use the R2D2 strategy? This mnemonic device is especially helpful for struggling writers and students with disabilities, but it can also be a helpful scaffold for all students. It teaches students to do what good writers do naturally—restating the question in a complete sentence, answering all parts of the question, citing evidence and fully explaining.

R: respond to the question

2D: provide two details

2: bring the response together

This Download Contains:

  • Student resource introducing the R2D2 strategy
  • Example passage and R2D2 responses
  • 10 passages and short response questions

Passages are 4th-6th grade reading level. These ready-to-use printables are great for formative assessments or test-prep!
