Elaboration when Answering Homework Questions

It is possible one of the reasons students can struggle with elaboration is a lack of understanding of how much information a reader needs or wants; this handout illustrates for students just how much semantic content most educators require at the middle or high school level.

Beginning with a comprehensive discussion on the vitality of elaboration, this resource then provides several answers to a Global History homework question, each answer progressively increasing in length and semantic content. Utilizing a provided rubric, students rate each answer as far as the complexity and number of relevant ideas contained within. They learn to differentiate between extra words and extra meaning, helping them grasp the need to more fully flesh out answers for homework and test questions.
