Writing is the ability for a student to communicate their thoughts and ideas through written word instead of through discussion or interactions with others. Often, you can discover difficulties that a student is having through their writing that might now show up in a student's reading or oral communication.
How do I assess it?
- Formal writing assignments
- Informal writing assignments
- Have students read their writing out loud
- Peer Editing
- Journals
- ACT/SAT Practice for writing
- Writing Logs
- Looking at the difference between rough drafts and final drafts (looking for growth)
- Peer Editing
- Journals
- TRIAC (teaching writing explicitly)
- Writing Workshops
- Use technology to aide students in their writing (blogs/websites, etc.)
- Designing Writing Assignments
- National Writing Project Writing Ideas
- Formatting Help Through Purdue University
- Read Write Think (International Reading Association)
