Starting in 2008, the LAL speculative writing will not include the
traditional “picture prompt.” However, we have included scored samples from
previous assessments which do include picture prompts to demonstrate how to
use the scoring rubrics to properly score writing samples.
•Students
may respond to a task that is presented through the use of a brief passage
that students will read. The given
passage will provide students with information that may be used as a
springboard for students to write a story, actual or fictional.
Students will use the information from the passage to make decisions,
solve problems, and create original works.
In 2009,
the
NJDOE will be field testing
Speculative Writing Prompts for 6th to 8th grade, and these may be added
to the assessments in future years.
