*The teacher should encourage students to elaborate, give more than the minimum, and strive for a Level 4.
A student response correctly giving the minimum number of responses or details is a Level 3.
In order to achieve a Level 4, a student must go above and beyond what is asked. For example, the student gives more than the required minimum or makes additional connections.
