Georgia Writing Test Information for Third Grade Using an analytic scoring rubric, teachers are to grade students in the narrative, informational, persuasive, and response to literature areas of writing. Teachers should collect writing samples by giving many opportunities with varying genres to write during the school year.
4
Georgia Writing Test Information for Third Grade In the narrative area: –May be an event that the student experienced –Should be a story with plot and characters- not just a list of events –Can be an imaginary or fantasy tale
5
Pre-assessment Prompt Hello students! I would like you to write a story as if you are spending the day with someone you know who is important to you. Include everything that you would do with him or her in one day. Some people that you might want to spend the day with: parent, principal, teacher, or coach

Prewriting
7
Grouping- Teacher’s Instructional Needs Whole Group –During prewriting –Students can ask questions that will help all students. –Teacher will monitor students’ behavior and success more effectively. Can provide scaffolding when appropriate. –Shorter instructional time because fewer repeated questions
8
Grouping- Teacher’s Instructional Needs, Cont. Independent/Paired Grouping –When completing the story map- individual unless asking “neighbor” for help –Enables students to develop individual ideas while receiving support from peers –Increases background knowledge –Pairing increases discussion and understanding between students because the zones of proximal development are close
9
Grouping- Students’ Needs Developmental Needs –Learning as a class –When discussing, students hear and learn from the questions and answers. –Because they are in small groups there will be more conversation Cultural Needs –Discussion builds background knowledge from peers’ statements. –Makes the subject more meaningful Linguistic Needs –Encourages communication between peers –Helps comprehension of spoken knowledge
10
Instructional Procedures- Narrative Stories have three parts- beginning, middle, and end. Beginning –Characters- who is in the story –Setting- where and when is the story –Problem or conflict- what needs to be solved Middle –Events- what happens in the story End –Solution- how the problem or conflict is solved
11
Prewriting Instructional Procedures Consider topic, purpose, form, and audience during prewriting. Topic- What is your story about? Our story is about a day with Benjamin Franklin. Purpose- Why are you writing? To inform, persuade, or entertain Form- How will you be writing? Journal, essay, or letter Audience- Who will read your story, or who are you writing to? We could be writing to our friends, parents, or teacher. Graphic Organizer- Helps map out our story –Do not use sentences, only phrases.
12
Graphic Organizer- Story Map Setting: –Where? When? What time? Characters: –Who? Problem: –What needs to be solved? Event 1: –First step to solve the problem.
13
Story Map, cont. Event 2: –Second step Event 3: –Third step Solution: –How was the problem solved?
14
Prewriting Assessment Students will complete the story map as if they are going to spend the day with Benjamin Franklin, like they did in the practice activity. They must complete the story map, but may only have two events instead of three. The students will be given a checklist to help complete their work.
15
Students’ Checklist- Prewriting Did I remember to… write my name on the top of my paper? write the place and time in the setting box? have Benjamin Franklin, myself, and anyone else in my story in the characters box? include a problem that can be solved in the problem box? (Like searching for something, finishing a race, making an invention…) use at least 2 events to put in my story that help us solve the problem? solve the problem?

Teacher’s Scoring Guide, cont. ElementsMeets Criteria Partially Meets Criteria Does Not Meet Criteria Events Has 2 or more events in logical order Has 2 or more events that are not in logical order Has only one event Solution Has a logical solution that solved the problem Has a conclusion that does not solve the problem Has no solution or ending to the story
18
Accommodations/Modifications Developmental Needs More individual help More time to complete tasks Instead of regular checklist, a person/partner/teacher’s aid to give step-by-step instructions
19
Accommodations/Modifications Differing Cultural and Linguistic Backgrounds Use labeled pictures –Helps the students not only spell the word, but also build background knowledge –Can be labeled in Spanish and English Spanish/English translation book –Encourages students to look up words they are unsure of
20
