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.
Starting in 2009, an explanatory writing
task will replace the speculative writing prompt on assessments in grades
six through eight.
In 2010 and beyond, the department will
continue to use a variety of tasks - persuasive, narrative, and/or
expository prompts - to access student writing achievement. |
