Score Point 2 The student’s response shows a full understanding of the reading concept. The response must contain TWO ways someone can help the whales using text-baseddetails in order to receive full credit. This student provides two details: “to donate money” and “clean the oceans”. These are both correct. “Helping pay for supplies” is considered to be the same detail as “donate money” and cannot stand alone as an answer. The other two details are enough to make the response correct and complete.
