For students that turned in their iCivics worksheet without their extended response - the directions are pasted below.
Extended
Response – You’ve been granted a new piece of land in honor of
your undying loyalty to the United States of America (or Schemerica?). The land you’ve been awarded has a population
of approximately 50,000 people. You are
in charge of establishing a form of government that you feel will best serve
your people. Which type of government
would you choose and why?
Write out your response on a plain sheet of paper. Use the
article, your textbook, or factual/reliable websites to develop your reasoning. Focus on the reasons for your TYPE OF GOVERNMENT, not on trivial
details such as the country’s name. Follow
the extended response directions below.
(You should have an introductory
paragraph, 2 to 3 middle paragraphs explaining your reasoning with supporting details,
and a closing paragraph)
Four
Elements of an Extended Response
1
|
Restate the thesis.
This is re-stating the question to include clues for the reader about
the direction that your text will be taking. Remember, the first sentence
tells the reader what you are going to tell them.

2
|
Include two/three ideas to support the
thesis. The support should be written in the third person.
You must not refer to yourself in the first person “I” when supporting the
thesis.
|
The body of the response tells the reader what you have
to say. This is where you use F.R.I.E.S.S.
Facts Reason Incident Examples Statistics Sensory Details |

3
|
Include two/three details to support the
three ideas.

4

Wrap-up your response by telling the reader what you
just told them. This is best accomplished by rephrasing the thesis
statement.
