Many people enjoy one season of the year more than the others. Choose the season you enjoy the most. Write an explanatory essay for your teacher expressing clear details about that season, and give reasons why you most enjoy this time. Include facts, details, and precise language as they are appropriate in your writing.
FYI: The first sample is what DESE awarded the highest scores.
1. Quickly look through the scoring guide for an Expository writing.
Keep it open: Expository Scoring Guide STUDY!!
- Big push is organization and cohesiveness. Does everything tie together? Beginning, middle, and end. Enough facts to explain the controlling idea? Transitions are HUGE here to support the organization.
2. Read through the first sample with the scoring guide. Look carefully at the explanation of the scoring below the writing sample.
Writing Sample: 4+, 4+, 2 BEST EXAMPLE
3. Then, you will need to read through the mid-level example for the same prompt. Read carefully the explanation of the scoring and think about what examples you see between the BEST sample and the Mid-level sample.
Writing Sample: 3+, 3+, 1 MID Level EXAMPLE
4. You will be writing a practice outline for the same prompt. You will mark where you will input transitions, etc.
5. This is the checklist you will see with your test prompt. Think about what components of the scoring guide is implied under each check ✔️
