Knowledge and Skills Statement

Composition: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--writing process. The student uses the writing process recursively to compose multiple texts that are legible and uses appropriate conventions.

Considere juntar las expectativas estudiantiles 3.11.B.i y 3.11.B.ii y evaluarlas al mismo tiempo. En la expectativa 3.11.B.ii los estudiantes desarrollan una idea atractiva con detalles relevantes. Ponga a disposición de los estudiantes un organizador gráfico para apoyarlos mientras van organizando su escritura. Pídales a los estudiantes que planeen su escritura mediante el llenado del organizador gráfico, lo que les permitirá identificar las ideas claves, la introducción y la conclusión.


Further Explanation

Este ejemplo de evaluación requiere que los estudiantes planeen y organicen la estructura de su obra escrita. Los estudiantes deben poder determinar el mejor orden que deben seguir para presentar el contenido de su composición, de tal manera que sea fácilmente entendible para el público lector. Los estudiantes deben poder crear una introducción que oriente al lector al tópico de la composición y que capture su atención para empezar a leer. Los estudiantes también deben ser capaces de considerar el propósito intencionado de su composición para crear una conclusión efectiva.

having a clear and tightly connected relationship among all the parts in an effective speech or piece of writing achieved by ordering ideas, sentences, and paragraphs logically
Once students have planned their rough drafts, the next step in the writing process is to start organizing thoughts into sentences and paragraphs. This initial draft is often messy. Students should not focus on writing in a polished manner during this stage.
As students produce their rough drafts, they bring focus by narrowing their topic and refining what they have written. Students write their topic sentences, add relevant details, and determine the most effective way to organize and present their ideas in a manner that best reflects their intended purpose. The order and logic of the writing should make it easy for the reader to follow.
Students are expected to determine the best order in which to present the content of their compositions so that the text is easily accessible to the reader. Students should be able to create an opening paragraph that orients the reader to the topic of the composition and/or engages the reader. Students should also consider the intended purpose of their composition to create an effective conclusion. The conclusion is a student’s last opportunity to impress something upon the reader, such as the importance of a point made in the composition, a feeling the author wants the reader to experience, or a directive the writer wants the reader to follow.

Summary: The National Writing Project (NWP) researchers studied the ways writers write. This work evolved into what has become known to teachers as the "writing process," an approach that has stressed the importance of stages in writing: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.
