4 Writing Assessment Standards for Waynesboro Public Schools At each of the formal writing assessments, the entire Waynesboro Public School s Writing Rubric will be used to score the prompted writing. Scores will be turned in to administration for review. Prior to having the students begin writing, teachers may engage students in oral class brainstorming and discussion. Teacher generated, written brainstorming, lists, webs, and outlines will not be allowed. Students may generate their own pre-planning (webs, outlines, brainstorming, lists) after the prompt is given. Students are encouraged to create and use their own graphic organizers. Teachers may not supply graphic organizers for prewriting or drafting. Teachers may not assist students with spelling, sentence formation, editing, etc. once they begin writing. This will allow for a clear picture of each student s knowledge of the writing process and growth toward the grade level objectives. Students may use a checklist or student friendly rubrics at the teacher s discretion. (Students may be more successful with using checklists or rubrics if they have had experience with checklists and rubrics within the classroom setting.) Students scores, according to the writing rubric, will be shared with parents. It is at the school s discretion when and what will be sent home (the student s original writing, a photocopy of the student s writing, a letter with a copy of the rubric, etc.). All end-of-year writing prompts will be collected and redistributed at the beginning of the next school year to each student s teacher. FOCUS STRAND: WRITING GRADE LEVEL 5 At the fifth-grade level, students will continue to grow as writers as they write to describe, to inform, to entertain, to explain, and to persuade. They will spend more time on revising and editing their work as they gain greater understanding of written expression. Precise and descriptive vocabulary and varied sentence structure will become important tools for creating tone and voice within a text. Students will be expected to have greater control over the conventions of writing, including sentence formation, grammar, capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. FOCUS STRAND: RESEARCH GRADE LEVEL 5 At the fifth-grade level, students will conduct short research projects based on focused questions. Students will gather relevant information from sources and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism. 4

UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will continue to write as a method of communication and as a means of expressing themselves. Students will organize their thoughts and choose appropriate vocabulary to convey their message effectively. There will be a continued emphasis on the students ability to shape and control language purposefully and to master the features of the composing and written expression domains. Voice shows an author s personality, awareness of audience, and passion for his or her subject. It adds liveliness and energy to writing. The three domains of writing are composing the structuring and elaborating a writer does to construct an effective message for readers (e.g., staying on topic; beginning, middle, and end); written expression those features that show the writer purposefully shaping and controlling language to affect readers (e.g., specific vocabulary, descriptive words, tone/voice); and usage/mechanics the features that cause written language to be acceptable and effective for standard discourse (e.g., spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar). ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should plan and organize information as they write for a variety of purposes: to describe, to inform, to entertain, to explain, and to persuade. use precise, descriptive vocabulary and vary sentence structure as they revise for clarity. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to apply knowledge of the writing domains of composing, written expression, and usage/mechanics. recognize different modes of writing have different patterns of organization informative/explanatory clearly introduce a topic and group related information in paragraphs create a plan, and organize thoughts before writing. use a variety of prewriting strategies (e.g., brainstorming, listing, free-writing, and using graphic organizers. select specific information to guide readers more purposefully through the piece. develop and strengthen writing as needed, in consultation with peers or adults, by prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, or rewriting. use precise language and content-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain a topic, to persuade, describe or entertain. vary sentence structure by using transition words and phrases. use precise language and phrases to develop writing (e.g., consequently, specifically, especially). 7
8 Transition words and phrases provide organization to student writing by improving the connections between thoughts. Categories of transitions include, but are not limited to: example (e.g., that is, for example, in fact) sequence (e.g., then, next, finally) time or location (e.g., before, meanwhile, nearby) clarify writing when revising. use available technology to gather information and to aid in writing. write a clear topic sentence focusing on the main idea. include supporting details that elaborate the main idea. 5.8 The student will edit writing for correct grammar, capitalization, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraphing. g) Use a hyphen to divide words at the end of a line. h) Edit for fragments and run-on sentences. j) Use correct spelling of commonly used words. UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will understand and use the editing process. Students will work to gain more control over the conventions of writing, including composing effective sentences with subject verb agreement, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Students will effectively use the following parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and interjections. Teachers should begin to encourage students to incorporate variety into sentences, by appropriate use of subordinate (dependent) clauses. Students should have practice writing on demand, for shorter time frames, and over extended periods of time. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should understand that editing for correct sentence formation, grammar, capitalization, spelling, and punctuation makes the meaning of the writing clearer to the reader. revise and edit drafts for improvement, using teacher assistance and peer collaboration. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to punctuate correctly hyphens to divide words at the end of a line. avoid fragments. avoid run-ons, (e.g., I opened the door, the dog went out. ). use correct spelling of commonly used words. 5.9 The student will find, evaluate, and select appropriate resources for a research product. b) Collect information from multiple resources including online, print, and media. 8
9 UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will use information resources to locate information on a topic. Students will collect information from multiple resources including online, print, and media. After collecting needed information, students will learn to evaluate and synthesize the information to use in their oral reports or writings. Students will need to give credit to the author, title, and date of a resource used in research. Plagiarism is using someone else s ideas or words without giving credit. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should formulate initial questions about a topic and seek information by identifying, locating, exploring, and effectively using a variety of sources of information. recognize, organize, and record information pertinent to the topic and blend ideas accurately. give credit to sources used in research. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to use available technology to gather information and to aid in writing. select and use appropriate references (e.g., atlases, almanacs, and encyclopedias) including online, print, and media resources. identify key terms to use in searching for information. skim to find information related to a topic.

22 Narrative Story- to entertain Weeks SOLs: 5.7 a, b, c, d, e, f, h; 5.8 b, e, f, g, h, i, j, k; 5.9 c 5.7 The student will write for a variety of purposes: to describe, to inform, to entertain, to explain, and to persuade. a) Identify intended audience. b) Use a variety of prewriting strategies. c) Organize information to convey a central idea. d) Write a clear topic sentence focusing on the main idea. e) Write multi-paragraph compositions. f) Use precise and descriptive vocabulary to create tone and voice. h) Revise for clarity of content using specific vocabulary and information. UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will continue to write as a method of communication and as a means of expressing themselves. Students will organize their thoughts and choose appropriate vocabulary to convey their message effectively. There will be a continued emphasis on the students ability to shape and control language purposefully and to master the features of the composing and written expression domains. Voice shows an author s personality, awareness of audience, and passion for his or her subject. It adds liveliness and energy to writing. The three domains of writing are composing the structuring and elaborating a writer does to construct an effective message for readers (e.g., staying on topic; beginning, middle, and end); written expression those features that show the writer purposefully shaping and controlling language to affect readers (e.g., specific vocabulary, descriptive words, tone/voice); and usage/mechanics the features that cause written language to be acceptable ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should plan and organize information as they write for a variety of purposes: to describe, to inform, to entertain, to explain, and to persuade. use precise, descriptive vocabulary and vary sentence structure as they revise for clarity. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to apply knowledge of the writing domains of composing, written expression, and usage/mechanics. produce a clear and coherent written piece in which the development and organization are appropriate to purpose and audience. recognize different modes of writing have different patterns of organization narrative organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally use transition words and phrases for sentence variety and to manage the sequence of events provide a conclusion create a plan, and organize thoughts before writing. use a variety of prewriting strategies (e.g., brainstorming, listing, free-writing, and using graphic organizers. focus, organize, and elaborate to construct an effective message for the reader. write a clear topic sentence focusing on the main idea. purposefully shape and control language to demonstrate an awareness of the intended audience. 22
23 and effective for standard discourse (e.g., spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar). Transition words and phrases provide organization to student writing by improving the connections between thoughts. Categories of transitions include, but are not limited to: example (e.g., that is, for example, in fact) sequence (e.g., then, next, finally) time or location (e.g., before, meanwhile, nearby) write multi-paragraph compositions focused on a topic, grouping related information in paragraphs and sections. choose precise descriptive vocabulary and information to create tone and voice develop and strengthen writing as needed, in consultation with peers or adults, by prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, or rewriting. use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, description, and pacing, to develop experiences or characters. use available technology to gather information and to aid in writing. use precise language and content-specific vocabulary to inform about or explain a topic, to persuade, describe or entertain. include sentences of various lengths and beginnings to create a pleasant, informal rhythm. vary sentence structure by using transition words and phrases. clarify writing when revising. 23
24 5.8 The student will edit writing for correct grammar, capitalization, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraphing. b) Use adjective and adverb comparisons. e) Use quotation marks with dialogue. f) Use commas to indicate interrupters. g) Use a hyphen to divide words at the end of a line. h) Edit for fragments and run-on sentences. i) Eliminate double negatives. j) Use correct spelling of commonly used words. k) Identify and use conjunctions. UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will understand and use the editing process. Students will work to gain more control over the conventions of writing, including composing effective sentences with subject verb agreement, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Students will effectively use the following parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and interjections. Teachers should begin to encourage students to incorporate variety into sentences, by appropriate use of subordinate (dependent) clauses. Students should have practice writing on demand, for shorter time frames, and over extended periods of time. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should understand that editing for correct sentence formation, grammar, capitalization, spelling, and punctuation makes the meaning of the writing clearer to the reader. revise and edit drafts for improvement, using teacher assistance and peer collaboration. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to punctuate correctly commas [e.g., items in a series, to set off the words yes and no; and to indicate direct address (e.g., Is that you, Chloe?)]; quotation marks with dialogue; and hyphens to divide words at the end of a line. use a comma to separate coordinate adjectives (e.g., It was a fascinating, enjoyable movie). use a comma to separate an introductory element from the rest of the sentence. form and use the perfect (e.g., I had walked; I have walked; I will have walked) verb tenses. use verb tense to convey various times, sequences, states, and conditions. avoid fragments. avoid run-ons, (e.g., I opened the door, the dog went out. ). eliminate double negatives. use correct spelling of commonly used words. use technology, including the Internet, to produce, edit and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others. use adverb comparisons (e.g., fast, faster, fastest). use adjective comparisons (e.g., big, bigger, biggest). use adverbs instead of adjectives where 24
25 5.9 The student will find, evaluate, and select appropriate resources for a research product. c) Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate, and communicate information. UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD (Teacher Notes) The intent of this standard is that students will use information resources to locate information on a topic. Students will collect information from multiple resources including online, print, and media. After collecting needed information, students will learn to evaluate and synthesize the information to use in their oral reports or writings. Students will need to give credit to the author, title, and date of a resource used in research. Plagiarism is using someone else s ideas or words without giving credit. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS All students should formulate initial questions about a topic and seek information by identifying, locating, exploring, and effectively using a variety of sources of information. recognize, organize, and record information pertinent to the topic and blend ideas accurately. give credit to sources used in research. appropriate, (e.g., He played really well. instead of He played real well. ). identify and use conjunctions. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND PROCESSES To be successful with this standard, students are expected to use available technology and media to organize, evaluate, and communicate information (e.g., presentation software, digital media). 25
