QampA

The writing committee spent a great deal oftime debating how to best help teachers use the following anchor papers Understanding that each teacher grade level and school site might have a different approach to using these materials the committee decided on a Question and Answer format to help facilitate dis~ussions about student writing It is the committees hope that this section will guide but not dictate specific your decisions

Q When grading the writing assessments how should I incorporate the Tips with the Directions

A Great question The writing committee discussed this at length and came upon middot the decisi011 that the writing directions with the sp~cific prompt are key to

meeting the standards for that writing domain (Personal Narrative Story etc) The tips are included to assist with a greater understanding ofwhat is required at

that grade level As a committee we began with the writing prompt and looked for those requirements that were being asked of the student Then the committee looked at the paper again to see ifthe tips were incorporated

Also remember that the Houghton Mifflin Rubrics are there to guide your

decision These rubrics incorporate both content and mechanics and can be very helpful with specific domain questions

You may want to consider meeting together withyour grade level and concentrate on the mechanics first separating the papers into two piles those tbatfollow the tips for mechanics and those that do not follow the tips Then your grade level

can begin to study the content ofthe prompt and how the student has attempted to answer the full middotprompt using the rubrics to determine the final score

Q What was the greatest help to the committee when deciding between a 2 and 3 paper or a 3 and 4 paper

A The tips were very helpful when making those decisions between scores For the committee the tips seem to center around mechanics wherein the directions center around the content ofthe prompt Here is where mechanics played a key

role Ifthe tips said to have more than one paragraph in the organization ofthe

California Summative Tests bull NMUSD

writing piece and the student did not follow this request then the paper was moved down to the next score The committee found this to be true among the 3

and 4 papers most often Oftentimes the committee would use the rubric to make a final decision for a score because the rubric gives specific guidelines for that domain (Personal Narrative Story etc)

Q When the prompt asks for a story is it acceptable if the student uses a plotline from a book or movie

A Ifthe prompt states that the story must be original then it is important that a

student understands this and writes to their own creative ideas Should the prompt

state that the student is to write a story with no specific guidelines then it is acceptable if the student seems to write about a story that is familiar in our

culture The committee noticed several papers where students did their best to

summarize a movie or book and yet they met the requirements ofthe prompt with all mechanical tips included It may be helpful and wise to discuss plagiarism with older students before the prompt is given

Q How should my grading change when the domain of writing changes

A An excellent question The committee reco=ends that the teacher maintains a

high standard ofassessment no matter what the domain ofwriting is requested It is true that story and personal narrative domains are much more fluid in their creativity and yet the student must still be able to control plot organization and

mechanics no matter what age or grade level Ofcourse the higher the grade level the more that is required

With regard to the friendly letter or persuasive writing domains there is an added element offormat that the student must follow The form and critical thinking levels are much more of an extension for the student The student not only has to

think about the writing task but must also organize the writing into the required

format The committee reco=ends that the teacher pays close attention to the mechanics with these types ofdomains
