STAAR 2011 Sample Prompt for Persuasive

Read the information in the box below.

Some argue that our so-called information age is really an “interruption age.” With smart phones in hand, we spend much of the day texting, tweeting, and surfing the Web. Rather than concentrating on big issues, we fill our heads with the trivia and gossip that interrupts our attention. So much information passes our way that we have trouble remembering any of it.

Do you believe that instant communication is helping or hurting us? Think carefully about this question.

Page 14: STAAR-Light * STAAR WRITE

Persuasive sample, continued

Write an essay stating your position on whether you believe that we live in an information age or an interruption age.

Be sure to—state your position clearlyuse appropriate organizationprovide specific support for your argumentchoose your words carefullyedit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling

Page 15: STAAR-Light * STAAR WRITE

What do you notice about the prompt wording? Write an essay stating your

position on whether you believe that we live in an information age or an interruption age.

Persuasive? Yes… Why? Key word? Write an essay explaining whether

people should be more concerned about others than about themselves.

Expository? Yes…Why? Key word?

Page 16: STAAR-Light * STAAR WRITE

Your Turn… Look at the pages of suggestions

for persuasive and choose one.– You might consider a topic that

would connect to the mentor text.– Find a quote in the mentor text that

would serve as your boxed information.

Use the example in your packet and compose a STAAR prompt model.

Page 17: STAAR-Light * STAAR WRITE

Test-taking Strategies Circle the “write” statement and underline

important key words. Use space for planning the essay

– Graphic organizer that works– Decide on direction and focus of the paper

Rough Draft...– Introduction (one to three sentences)– Main focus (with details—well-developed

section of the paper—may be one or two paragraphs)

– Conclusion (one to three sentences)

Page 18: STAAR-Light * STAAR WRITE

IF YOU ARE OVER 26 LINES, Read to decide what might not be the best information to include.

REVISE………

IF YOU ARE UNDER 26 LINES, Read carefully to see if you need to add information or change the wording

• transitional statements• specific details
