Teach The RACES Writing Strategy With a R.A.C.E. Poster Pack

The R.A.C.E.S. writing strategy is a widely used approach to help students construct thorough and detailed responses to text-based questions. Each letter in the acronym R.A.C.E.S. stands for a specific step in the writing process:

• R – Restate the Question: Begin by restating the question in your own words. This helps ensure students understand what is being asked and sets the context for their response.
• A – Answer the Question: Answer the question directly, making sure the answer is clear.
• C – Cite Evidence: Support the answer with evidence from the text. This could be a quote or a specific example that backs up the answer.
• E – Explain: Explain how the evidence cited supports the answer. This involves connecting the dots for the reader and elaborating on their reasoning.
• S – Summarize/Conclude: End with a summary or a concluding sentence that wraps up your response and reinforces your main points.

By following the R.A.C.E.S. strategy, students can ensure their responses are thorough, well-supported, and follow a logical progression.

This printable R.A.C.E.S / R.A.C.E. poster pack is the perfect tool to help your students master the art of writing a constructed response paragraph.
