Everyone agrees, the more papers you read, assess, and discuss the deeper and richer becomes your understanding of the scoring guide and specifically of its components. It's simple and worth every minute spent reviewing example papers with scores to guide you in your understanding.

The student writing sample papers are organized by trait, score, and grade level. The student sample papers are scored on all traits except presentation. We did not score presentation because the papers have been retyped for publication and are no longer in student handwriting or student-produced word processing.
