What are Constructed Response items? (from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Office of Educational Accountability)
 * Constructed Response (CR) items are open-ended questions, typically requiring several sentences or a brief paragraph for the answer. CR items require the student to generate his/her own answer. Therefore, CR items cause students to use higher order thinking skills.
 * CR items are not designed for memorization, but require the application of the student's knowledge. They are developed to engage students in higher level thinking, such as making comparisons, identifying patterns, evaluating points of view, making generalizations, or synthesizing information.
 * CR items are scored using a rubric that provides varying degrees of credit. Various levels of the rubric are defined with specific information and examples.
