Writing Rubrics for the PARCC Assessment August 2014 Vincent Segalini
DISCLAIMER! • The writing rubrics for the PARCC assessment were created to score on-demand writing tasks for an assessment. They are more general than writing rubrics that would be used to score writing in the classroom. Remember: • These rubrics are holistic. • These rubrics are not grade specific (other than grade 3).
Writing on the PARCC Assessment • Students will write three responses as part of the Performance Based Assessment (PBA). • A literary analysis task • A narrative task • A research simulation task • ALL students will definitely write a narrative story for the narrative task.
Writing on the PARCC Assessment • Thetwo other writing tasks (LAT and RST) will be a combination of: • Informative/explanatory writing • Opinion (3-5) or argumentative writing (6-11) • It is not guaranteed students will write one informative piece and one argumentative piece. They may write two informative pieces. It is improbable that they would write two opinion/argumentative pieces.
Rubrics • There are 6 different rubrics: • Grade 3 LAT/RST (Informative/Explanatory and Opinion) Rubric • Grade 3 Narrative Rubric • Grades 4-5 LAT/RST (Informative/Explanatory and Opinion) Rubric • Grades 4-5 Narrative Rubric • Grades 6-11 LAT/RST (Informative/Explanatory and Argumentative) Rubric • Grades 6-11 Narrative Rubric
Grade 3 • There are not 4 score points for grade 3 because third grade writing lacks the sophistication to differentiate between the highest score points.
Scoring • Students will receive a score for each construct, such as 4,4,3.
LAT/RST Rubric (Informative/Explanatory and Argumentative)
LAT/RST Rubric (Informative/Explanatory and Argumentative)
Keys for Reading Comprehension • “…ideas stated explicitly and inferentially…” • Scorers need to see that a student understands the texts. • This would include evidence of understanding, including direct references, inferences, etc.
LAT/RST Rubric (Informative/Explanatory and Argumentative)
Keys for Written Expression • These scores are weighted 3 times. For example, if a student receives a 3 for Written Expression, it is weighted as a 9. • Students must respond to all parts of the prompt. • They must write in the specified discipline (narrative, essay, etc.).
Keys to Written Expression • The three key ideas: • Respond to the prompt appropriately, using evidence to show understanding. • Organization • Style • Scorers will ensure that the style and organization is effective for the specified genre of writing.
LAT/RST Rubric (Informative/Explanatory and Argumentative)
Keys to Written Conventions • There will be errors. They key is whether or not these errors impact meaning. • “…appropriate level of complexity…” • Students need to provide enough text to determine comprehension of conventions.
