Scoring
practice papers online NWREL-There
is ABSOLUTELY no better way to understand the 6+1 TraitTM Writing analytical model than to USE it
yourself. 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
practicing.
The student writing sample papers are organized by trait, score, and grade
level. The student sample papers are scored on all traits except presentation.
