Constructed Response is the innovative term for what we used to call a "short-answer essay question." All it means is that students going to answer the question in one well-written paragraph. Constructed response questions allow students to demonstrates cognitive knowledge and reasoning. The answer must be provided using information that can be found in a particular text or other prompt (map, picture, graphic organizer, etc.) and is not meant to demonstrate opinion, but to show how you are able to extract information and use this as the basis for forming a complete answer.
