  1. Mapping the Standards: The Kentucky Marker Papers Project Presented by The Kentucky Department of Education Lee Ann Hager, High School Writing Consultant

  2. Guiding Questions • What are the Kentucky Marker Papers? • How may teachers utilize the Marker Papers in the classroom? • What papers were added during the past year’s work? • How can I obtain a copy of the current Marker Papers set?

  3. Guiding Question What are the Kentucky Marker Papers?

  4. The Kentucky Marker Papers may be used to help teachers and students understand continuous skill development in writing. Skills lists are included at the end of each genre of writing to help teachers identify characteristics of each genre and ideas for developing lessons.

  5. The purpose of the MP document is to answer these two questions: • What is good (competent) writing supposed to look like at the grade levels I teach? • What lessons should I teach to enable my student to become proficient writers?

  6. Guiding Question How may teachers utilize the Marker Papers in the classroom?

  7. Skills Lists • Marker Papers • Unannotated • Annotated • Next Lessons

  8. Sequencing

  9. In order to use these materials, you should Study the marker papers for a specific type of writing from the appropriate grade level (e.g., elementary teachers may look mostly to the P-4 range, middle school teachers may look mostly to the 5-8 range, and high school teachers may look mostly to the 9-12 range). Read the samples and annotations to notice how specific skills are demonstrated in each piece. Locate the marker paper or papers that demonstrate the level of writing at which students at your grade level should be performing. Read one of your student’s pieces of writing to determine the skills that are evident in his/her writing. Find the marker paper or papers that demonstrate a level of skills similar to those of your student. Determine the next lessons to teach in order to enable the student to move toward the goal for his/her grade level.
