CMAS CPR Answer Key and Scoring Guide – Grade 4 Social Studies | 2 Sample Student Responses Points 3 Sample A Response Some ways I think people can save water are, 1. They can turn the water off while they are brushing their teeth 2. They can take a little bit of a shorter shower or turn the water off when they are soaping up 3. They can turn their spriklers off and move them if the spriklers are spraying onto their side walk. Sample A Annotation The student demonstrates a clear understanding of the task and explains three ways people in Colorado can save water: (turn the water off while . brushing their teeth; take a little bit shorter shower or turn the water off when soaping up; and turn their spriklers off and move them if the spriklers are spraying onto their side walk). Sample B Response Three ways people can save water are they can turn the fosset off when they are done, because some people keep the water running when they don't need any water. Another way to save water is to build dams, so when it rains, you can keep the water contained. One last way to save water is to take short showers, becuase when people take long showers, they take more water, so the shorter the better. Those are three ways to reserve water. Sample B Annotation This student demonstrates a clear understanding of the task and explains three ways to save water: (turn the fosset off when they are done; build dams; and take short showers). Both public and personal strategies for saving water are acceptable. 2 Sample A Response There are many ways people can help save water, even at home. One of the reasons water availability is dropping is because of how long we use our water. For example, when people take shower it wastes too much water. We can prevent that by taking shorter showers. We also sometimes wast too much water when we wash our hands. For example if you keep the water running before you get soap or leave it running to go dry your hands after you wash them that still is wasting water.We are and even you can help save water. Sample A Annotation The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the task. Two means of saving water are explained: (taking shorter showers; and when we wash our hands . if you keep the water running before you get soap or leave it running to go dry your hands . that is still wasting water). Please note that the student presents the second idea as a habit to avoid. CMAS CPR Answer Key and Scoring Guide – Grade 4 Social Studies | 3 Sample B Response Three ways people in Colorado can save water is: 1. Take shorter showers 2. Do not dump water into a sink if you can still drink the water 3.Do not dump nasty things into bodies of water Sample B Annotation The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the task and correctly explains two strategies for saving water (Take shorter showers; Do not dump water into a sink if you can still drink the water). However, the final idea about pollution does not result in water savings (Do not dump nasty things into bodies of water) and receives no credit. 1 Sample A Response In this explanation, I will be explaining three ways on how in 2014 in Colorado, what people could have done to preserve water during a great drought. To start off, #1. is limit showers, and especially when you can take baths.When you take a bath or shower, it uses water and usually alot, by limiting how much you take them you could have more water to survive on. Also, #2. is if you aren't super thirsty, don't drink any water, Gaterade or Coolade is fine just no water.That way it will last way longer hopefully. Last but not least comes #3. what I think is most important is that don't water any crops or plants, you need the water better than them. You need water in order to survive, and by giving the plants water, you're giving away water that you could be very thankful that you have sooner or later on in life. Clearly, during the 2014 drought in Colorado, there were many things citizens could have done in order to preserve water. Sample A Annotation The student demonstrates a very limited understanding of the task. Although three strategies are named, only one is realistic (limit showers). No credit is given for switching to other drinks (if you aren’t super thirsty, don’t drink any water. Gatorade or Coolaid is fine just no water) and letting crop die (Don’t water any crops or plants, you need the water better than them). A major reason for wate conservation is to reserve water for basic human survival, drinking and growing crops. Sample B Response There are three ways to save water. One way is, not to waste the water you could save it. Another way is that you could not pollute the lakes and rivers in Colorado. The last way is that you could not use it as much. Sample B Annotation The student demonstrates a very limited understanding of the task, suggesting some non‐specific ways to save water: (not to waste the water . you could not use it as much). The comment (not polluting the lakes and rivers in Colorado) does not receive credit since it does explain how this would result in water savings. CMAS CPR Answer Key and Scoring Guide – Grade 4 Social Studies | 4 0 Sample A Response To drink more milk.Another rason drink more cool leid and more soda Sample A Annotation The student demonstrates no understanding of the task by offering impracticable strategies save water (To drink more milk . more cool leid and more soda). Sample B Response in 2014, about one third of Colorado felt the effects of a drought.because people in colorado can save water by not puting trash in it, or by not letting bad things in it, and by people need to save water. Sample B Annotation The student demonstrates little or no understanding of the task and does not address how to save water. Keeping the water clean does not directly address water savings.

    The Rockies • The Rocky Mountains , commonly known as the Rockies, are a major mountain range in western North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch more than 3,000 miles (4,830 km) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. The Rockies are somewhat distinct from theCascade Range and Sierra Nevada which all lie farther to the west. • Currently, much of the mountain range is protected by public parks and forest lands, and is a popular tourist destination, especially for hiking, camping, mountaineering, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, skiing, and snowboarding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountains The Rockies • Apart from the Ancestral Puebloan cliff-dwellers, who lived in southern Colorado until around 1300 AD, most Native Americans in this region were nomadic hunters. They inhabited the western extremities of the Great Plains, the richest buffalo-grazing land in the continent. • Only after the territory was sold to the US in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase was it thoroughly charted, starting with the Lewis and Clark expedition that traversed Montana and Idaho in 1805. As a result of the team’s reports of abundant game, the fabled “ mountain men ” had soon trapped the beavers here to the point of virtual extinction. They left as soon as the pelt boom was over, however, and permanent white settlement did not begin until gold was discovered near Denver in 1858. • Within a decade, speculators were plundering every accessible gorge and creek in the four states in the search for valuable ores. The construction of transcontinental rail lines and the establishment of vast cattle ranches to feed the mining camps led to the slaughter of millions of buffalo, and conflict with the Native Americans became inevitable.

  • 2018-Primary-Sources-Catalogue-2
    Last year, after 20 years of focused collecting in a very specific slice of Americana, we issued our first catalogue, and we want to thank all of our new friends, clients, and colleagues who made it a success--successful enough, at any rate, for there to be a Catalogue 2. Like Catalogue 1, our second contains twenty-five items with important stories to tell, stories that range widely across the American experience: from the risk book of a London underwriter during the War of 1812 to the only military encounter between the United States and Texas, from an unrecorded broadside that captures the birth of San Francisco to a revolution in women’s fashion; from an iconic view of Harvard University to the diary of a young teacher in Reconstruction-era Nashville; and from the poignant words of a young African American cadet unjustly dismissed from West Point to the plainspoken narrative of an elderly woman writing of her captivity as a child. Whether manuscript diaries, ledgers, and letters, printed pamphlets and broadsides, photographs, or even a children’s spelling book, they all contribute new ways of seeing and thinking about the broader currents of American history. Our name is what they have in common. They are primary sources, and they are largely uncharted. This fall, like last, we offer a new catalogue with twenty-five unexpected items, fresh to the trade. So thanks again to everyone who supported our first effort, and we hope that you enjoy browsing Catalogue 2. We look forward to hearing from you. -- All items are offered subject to prior sale.
