TCAP Writing Assessment Monday, March 3rd
Nine days from now students will log into the MIST online testing application to take the TCAP Writing Assessment. This will be the 4th grade students' first time taking the
test and it will be administered online. During our Writing Workshop, students are
receiving additional instruction in both word processing and analytical
(non-fiction/essay) writing. These
sessions are being taught and completed during class.
- Students will read two complex informational texts.
- Texts will cover social studies or science topics. We will not know the topic(s) ahead of time.
- Students will write two essays:
- One analytical summary about the first text.
- One analytical essay about both texts. The essay will be informational/explanatory or opinion/argument.
