1 Eighth Grade Writing Guidance for Scope and Sequence Development 1

2 Eighth Grade Writing: Information for Scope and Sequence Development Eighth graders require writing on six different types of writing to meet the Standards and prepare for PARCC. The first three types (listed below) give students opportunities to revise, edit and publish. PARCC tasks (the last three listed below) are viewed as impromptu essays and will most likely not be as polished as responses written over longer periods of time. Since students are given significant amount of time to complete the tasks, students should make every effort to edit and polish their writing to some degree. The bottom 3 types of writing are how students will be assessed on the PARCC assessment (given after 75% of the year s instruction)*. These writings should be shared by all eighth grade teachers so students have ample opportunities to meet the Standards. Writing Task Description Notes #1 Argument Writing Reviews Essays, Reports, etc #2 Informative Explanatory Writing Research Papers Reports, Essays Paragraphs, How To writing, etc.. #3 Narrative Writing Creative Writing. Poetry Stories, etc #4 *PARCC Literary Analysis Task (LAT) Combination of informative/explanatory writing and argumentative writing. #5 *PARCC Research Simulation Task (RST) Possible combination of informative/explanatory writing and argumentative writing. #6 *PARCC Narrative Tasks (NT) Writing a narrative. Students should write arguments on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons, introduce claim and organize the reasons and evidence clearly. Informative/explanatory writing examines a topic and conveys ideas and information clearly. There are slight differences between informative and explanatory writing. Informative writing educates readers by imparting straightforward information and facts, but never personal opinions Explanatory writing imparts information, shares ideas and provides explanations and evidence. Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences. Students will read literature selections, answer a series of questions from each text and synthesize in order to write to the provided prompt. Students will analyze an informational topic presented through several articles or multimedia stimuli. The first text will be an anchor text that introduces the topic. Students will engage with texts, answer a series of questions from each text and synthesize the information from these sources in order to write two analytic essays. After reading a literary or informational selection, students will be asked to respond in writing to a prompt that asks them to continue a narrative story or write a narrative description. Plan a scope and sequence to include all writing necessary in the eighth grade school year. For example: Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 Place the number 7 th Grade of the above PARCC tasks that Writing will be performed Sample by Prompts students in each quarter. The writing types described here are writings that take place over multiple days or time frames. The rubrics used for these types of writing ask students to use the entire writing process. Some options for a rubric can be found at These tasks are writing to show reading comprehension tasks. Student s writings must show comprehension of key ideas and details as well as written expression and knowledge of language and conventions. The PARCC Writing Rubrics should be used to evaluate these writing tasks. These rubrics can be found at Choose PARCC Resources to view the rubrics as well as a practice tests and other PARCC tools. 2

3 Literary Analysis Task (LAT) A PARCC Task The Literary Analysis Task will have students analyze multiple texts and synthesize their findings in essay form. Directions Students May See on the PARCC Assessment (PARCC may word as Purpose Setting Statement ) Before reading the selection, students should read the bolded statement above the passage. This gives students a clear message as to what they are to pay attention to in the text in order to write to the prompt. Today you will read and think about the passage from the (novel, story, fable, or other) titled and the (novel, story, fable, or other). As you read these texts, you will gather information and answer questions about (the question will tie back to the reading standards) so you can write an essay. Possible Prompt Topics Taken from PARCC s Task Generation Models Differences in point of views of characters (RL. 1 & 6) Central idea/lesson of literature (RL. 1 & 2) Effect of dialogue or events (RL. 1 & 3) Analysis of a filmed production (RL. 1 & 7) Analysis of themes, patterns of events, or character types (RL. 1 & 9) The question prompt ties back to the reading standards. After they have read and answered questions, the 2 nd part of the prompt may read something like this: You have read the passages from and. Write an essay that (relates back to the question at the beginning in the first part). Support responses with evidence from each source and explain the evidence. Write an essay how these differences in points of view create tension in both stories. Remember to use details from both texts to support your ideas. Ideas to Prepare Students for This Task The PARCC Assessment will provide accommodations for all students with a number of accessibility features. Some features include electronic highlighting, use of blank sheet(s) of paper to take notes as they read, etc For details about accessibility features for all students go to the PARCC ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES AND ACCOMMODATIONS MANUAL, Table 1, p Model how to work through a writing task(s). Demonstrate step by step how students should read the bold print before the passage. Students may use a blank sheet of paper or other highlighting tool to note when they find evidence that will help answer the writing task. Allow students opportunities to mimic these tasks in the classroom. Engage students in guided practice and allow for peer collaboration when new, more complex tasks such as writing to the prompt are practiced. 3

4 Research Simulation Task (RST) A PARCC Task The Research Simulation Task will have students analyze multiple texts and synthesize their findings in essay form. This task is perfect to share with social studies, science and technical subject teachers. Directions Students May See on the PARCC Assessment (PARCC may word as Purpose Setting Statement ) Before reading the selection, students should read the bolded statement above the passage. This gives students a clear message as to what they are to pay attention to in the text in order to write to the prompt. Today you will research and consider texts and/or videos to support different purposes. First you will read a passage that. Next, you will watch a video clip about. Finally, you will read a text that explains how. As you review these sources, think about. (The question will tie back to the reading standards.) Possible Prompt Topics Taken from PARCC s Task Generation Models (RH Reading for History/Social Science Subjects RST Reading for Science & Technical Subjects) Use of illustrations and other visuals (RI. 1, 7, & 9; RH. 1, 7, & 9; RST. 1, 7, & 9) Point of view and purpose (RI. 1, 6, & 9; RH. 1, 6, & 9; RST.1, 6, & 9) Analysis of argument (RI. 1, 8, & 9; RH. 1, 8, & 9; RST. 1, 8, & 9) Relationship of ideas (RI. 1, 3 & 9; RH. 1 & 3; RST. 1 & 3) Analyzing primary and secondary sources (RH.1 & 9) Comparing and contrasting information from various sources (RST. 1 & 9) The question prompt ties back to the reading standards. After they have read and answered questions, the 2 nd part of the prompt may read something like this: You have learned about by reading two documents, and, and viewing a video clip titled. Write an essay that (relates back to the question asked in the 1 st part). Support responses with evidence from each source and explain the evidence. Write an essay comparing the information presented in the video with that presented in the article Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk and the passage from Elephants Know When They Need a helping Trunk in a Cooperative Task. Remember to use evidence from the video, the article, and the passage to support your answer. Preparing Students for this Task Model how to work through a writing task(s). Demonstrate step by step how students should read the bold print before the passage. Students may use a blank sheet of paper or other highlighting tool to note when they find evidence that will help answer the writing task. Allow students opportunities to mimic these tasks in the classroom. Students can also use the blank sheet of paper to create a graphic such as the one below to take notes on as they read. Students are allowed to use a blank sheet of paper during the PARCC assessment if desired. Text 1 Text 2 Video Key Information 4

5 Narrative Task (NT) A PARCC Task The narrative task will either focus on a Narrative Story where students will o Read a literary text o Respond to 5 EBSR (Evidence Based Student Response) or TECR (Technology Enhanced Student Response) questions aligned to the standards. o Write to a prompt that will measure any combination of RL and RI standards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 or 9. Narrative Description where students will o Read an informational text o Respond to 5 EBSR (Evidence Based Student Response) or TECR (Technology Enhanced Student Response) questions aligned to the standards. o Write to a prompt that will measure any combination of RI standards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, or 9. Directions Students May See on the PARCC Assessment (PARCC may word as Purpose Setting Statement ) Before reading the selection, students should read the bolded statement above the passage. This gives students a clear message as to what they are to pay attention to in the text in order to write to the prompt. Today you will read a passage from a literary or informational text titled. As you read, pay close attention to (students will be looking at a specific skill that ties back to the reading standards) to prepare to write. (Students will be told what the writing target is before they read.) Write a continuation of the story of Bahauddin Shah using details from the passage. Describe what you think might happen after Bahauddin Shah climbs out of the Salt Caverns. What obstacles might he face, and what actions might he take to overcome them? Preparing Students for this Task: Students will benefit from reading the bold print directive above the passage. This directive will tell students what they are to pay close attention to when they read. PARCC will provide accommodations for all students. The PARCC assessment provides students a number of accessibility features for all students. Some features include electronic highlighting, use of blank sheet(s) of paper to take notes as they read, etc For details about accessibility features for all students go to the PARCC ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES AND ACCOMMODATIONS MANUAL, Table 1, p Make sure students can identify key elements in a story. Any element that is a part of the standards will be reflected in questions and/or writing prompt. Check the 8 th grade New Illinois Reading Literature Standards for the key elements students are expected to know. 5

6 Steps for Designing PARCC Writing Tasks 1. Determine anchor text for students to read that introduces the topic you want them to write about. Use the content you are currently teaching. Texts can be taken from current textbooks or other resources. See suggestions below. 2. Find coordinating texts/multimedia to accompany the anchor text. For example: Literary Analysis Task (LAT) Anchor Text Coordinating Text #4 Type of Writing Novel Segment Poem Literary Analysis Task (LAT) #4 Type of Writing Anchor Text Coordinating Text Play Segment Painting Research Simutation Task (RST) Anchor Text Coordinating Text Coordinating Text #5 Type of Writing Research Simutation Task (RST) Textbook Segment Article Video OR Anchor Text Coordinating Text Coordinating Text #5 Type of Writing Article Primary Source Textbook Segment Narrative Task (NT) Anchor Text #5 Type of Writing Novel Segment 3. Develop questions for each text using the reading standards and the evidence tables for grade 8. Question Guidance: 4. Create a culminating writing prompt in which students compare and synthesize ideas across texts. The reading standards/evidence tables should be used to develop the question. 5. Use the PARCC Rubrics to evaluate student writing. LiteracyScoringRubric-July2015.pdf 6

7 Resources for Developing Practice PARCC Writing Tasks Use the PARCC writing rubrics to score student responses. This helps clarify the criteria needed for a successful writing task as well as the thinking behind the PARCC scoring process. See the PARCC Practice Tests for samples of the PARCC writing tasks. Go to and click on PARCC resources. Current Textbooks or Series o Anthology Alignment Project Free, teacher-developed Common Core-aligned lessons for anthology reading series in grade 6. These lessons can be used immediately in the classroom and for professional development. Hundreds of teachers worked collaboratively to develop these materials, following deep training on the Common Core by Student Achievement Partners. Each lesson has been authored, edited, and reviewed by a team of teachers. Each lesson gives a sample writing task with prompt. To develop writing tasks, teachers need to have access to grade level texts. This can come in the form of any of number resources found in the classroom. See the following resources for possible texts. o o o o o Internet Resources for Text Readworks ReadWorks provides research-based units, lessons, and authentic, leveled non-fiction and literary passages directly to educators online, for free, to be shared broadly. Newsela Newsela is a free resource that presents articles on a range of topics such as: War and Peace, Science, Kids, Money, Law, Health, Arts, and Sports. Filter your search by grade level, reading standard, and whether a quiz has been designed for the article. The system enables you to convert the articles into higher or lower Lexiles so you can use them with any grade from TextProject This website has high-quality student texts and teacher guides that are all available for free download. There are texts for students, vocabulary lessons and lists, professional development modules and videos - a world of open-access resources for teachers. Project Gutenberg - Project Gutenberg offers over 46,000 free ebooks to be downloaded or read online. Many genres of text are available such as music, reference materials, poetry, magazines, journals, plays, science, social studies and fine arts. Library of Congress - The Library of Congress offers classroom materials to help teachers effectively use primary sources from the Library's vast digital collections in their teaching. 7

8 What are Evidence Tables? They were created to guide the development of the summative assessment. The Evidence Tables describe the knowledge and skills that an assessment item or a task elicits from students. They can also be used to guide the development of local curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
