3 The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), the state-mandated test, has six specific writing objectives to guide educators in preparing students for assessment. Objectives 3, 4, 5, and 6 are assessed within a multiple-choice format. Objective 3 tests the student s ability to recognize appropriate organization of ideas in written text. Objective 4 tests the student s ability to recognize correct and effective sentence construction within written text. Objective 5 tests the student s ability to recognize standard usage and appropriate word choice in written text. Objective 6 requires the student to proofread for correct punctuation, capitalization, and spelling within written text. The chart below itemizes the student expectations within each objective. Test Format For the multiple-choice portion of the TAKS test, students will be presented with passages that contain multiple errors. The passages are written to mimic student writing (formal, not conversational), so that revising and editing skills are evaluated in a peer-editing context. Each passage is followed by a series of questions that requires students to determine what, if any, revising or editing changes should be made to specific sentences or sections within the passage. In some instances, the option to make no change is given. To answer the multiple-choice questions, students should be familiar with the terms revise, edit, organize, rewrite, improve, combine, complete sentence, delete, add, and insert as they apply to composition. The TAKS Writing Test Objective 3 Objective 4 Objective 5 Objective 6 Questions assess Questions assess Questions assess Questions assess rules organization of ideas effective sentence standard English commonly taught in construction and usage and appropriate fourth-grade language word choice word choice arts texts Adding elaborative Fragments Subject-verb Capitalization sentences agreement Deleting irrelevant Run-on sentences Pronoun referents Possessives sentences Combining Adverbs and adjectives Commas in a sentences (including comparative and series superlative adjectives) Improving the wording Double negatives Commas in direct of awkward sentences address Homonyms (including their/there and it s/its) Replacing indefinite referents (including they and it) with specific nouns Replacing vague words with precise words Sentence punctuation Spelling of rule-based and sight words within fourthgrade experience Apostrophes in contractions TAKS MASTER Quick Review, Teacher Guide 3
