Range of Writing Classroom Samples K-12 to illustrate CCSS 10: writing for a range of discipline specific tasks, purposes and audiences Purpose: Breadth Ideas for integration

Writing in the Classroom!

For use by educators, administrators and students… Several versions of each piece Available electronically on achievethecore.org Annotated Not Annotated Edited for Student Use

Some Clarifications: Examples of competent writing at each grade level, not benchmarks. Chosen specifically to illustrate CCSS Writing Standards 1, 2 and 3 (Argument/Opinion, Informative/Explanatory and Narrative). Mastery of conventions was not evaluated in choosing and annotating these pieces.

How can you use In Common? To help both students and teachers better understand the qualities of effective writing. To provide a foundation for analysis and discussion that can lead to a deep and nuanced understanding of the Common Core Writing Standards.

A Work in Progress… The CCSS are meant to broaden, not narrow, our understanding of effective writing. This resource has a similar purpose. In Common is intended to be a “living document”, which will be added to, revised, and improved as more teachers and students work with the Common Core State Standards.

We welcome your feedback and ideas as we move forward in this process.
