Introduc)on Hi! I’m Sherry Su.le, Secondary English Language Arts and Reading Specialist at Region XIII. In this module, you’ll learn about the English I wriBng rubrics for the STAAR EOC Assessment. First, we’ll look at secBons and subsecBons of both the English I Literary and the English I Expository WriBng Rubrics. Then we’ll look at differences between the English I wriBng rubrics and the TAKS wriBng rubric.
1
English I students are expected to write a literary composiBon and an expository composiBon on the STAAR.
2
Both English I Literary and Expository wriBng rubrics are designed on a four-‐point scale. A score point 4 indicates a student’s wriBng as an Accomplished wriBng performance. A score point 3 indicates a student’s wriBng as a SaBsfactory wriBng performance. A score point 2 indicates a student’s wriBng as a Basic wriBng performance, and a score point 1 indicates a student’s wriBng as Very Limited wriBng performance.
3
Both of the English I Literary and Expository WriBng Rubrics include three major secBons: 1. OrganizaBon/Progression 2. Development of Ideas 3. Use of Language/ConvenBons
4
Within each major secBon, genre-‐based subsecBons give teachers and students a be.er idea of how composiBons will be scored. SubsecBons from the Literary WriBng Rubric differ slightly from the Expository WriBng Rubric.
5
Please download and review the English I Literary and Expository WriBng Rubrics from the Region XIII STAAR ELA Resources website to deepen your understanding of the wriBng component of the English I STAAR EOC Assessment.
6
As we transiBon from TAKS to STAAR, it may be helpful to address some similariBes and differences between the TAKS and STAAR wriBng rubrics in order to help students succeed.
7
One difference between the rubrics is the genre of wriBng students will be asked to create. On TAKS, students created a narraBve composiBon in response to a prompt. On the STAAR, students will create a Literary piece (short story) in response to a prompt as well as create an Expository composiBon in response to a prompt.
9
Another difference between the rubrics is that secBon categories are slightly different. On the TAKS Rubric, secBons include Focus & Coherence, OrganizaBon, Development of Ideas, Voice, and ConvenBons. On the STAAR Rubrics, the secBons include OrganizaBon/Structure, Development of Ideas, and Use of Language/ConvenBons. Voice proved a key component to a successful TAKS NarraBve WriBng Score. In the English I Literary and Expository Rubric, Voice is not a secBon.
