Prompted to Writeoffers help for teachers who are preparing
their students for "high stakes" writing tests. This book features
fifteen in-depth and reproducible lesson units to help students
develop proficiency in crafting essays in all subjects, building
their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills, and assessing
the quality of their written work. The lessons cover a variety of
essay genres and are useful in preparing students for
state-mandated writing tests, school entrance and exit exams, and
the SAT. Each lesson includes guided pre-writing and
planning activities and concludes with a timed writing task
(complete with a revision/edition checklist) and a customized
scoring guide. Student writing samples are provided along with
extensive instructional and assessment guidance.
