Writing
The knowledge, skills and understandings relating to students’ writing have been drawn from the Statements of Learning for English.
Students are taught a variety of forms of writing at school. The three main forms of writing (also called genres or text types) that are taught are narrative writing, informative writing and persuasive writing. In the writing tests, students are provided with a ‘writing stimulus' (sometimes called a prompt – an idea or topic) and asked to write a response in a particular genre or text type.
The writing task targets the full range of student capabilities expected of students from Years 3 to 9. The same stimulus is used for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The lines in the response booklet for Year 3 students are more widely spaced than for Years 5, 7 and 9 and more capable students will address the topic at a higher level. The same marking guide is used to assess all students' writing, allowing for a national comparison of student writing capabilities across these year levels.
Writing genre for 2014 NAPLAN tests
In 2014, the genre of the prompt will not be disclosed prior to the test period. The writing test will require students to respond to either a persuasive or narrative writing prompt.
Assessing the writing task
Students’ writing will be marked by assessors who have received intensive training in the application of a set of ten writing criteria. The writing criteria for both persuasive and narrative writing are summarised below.
Persuasive writing
Marking criterion Description of persuasive writing marking criterion
Audience

The writer’s capacity to orient, engage and persuade the reader
Text structure The organisation of the structural components of a persuasive text (introduction, body and conclusion)

    57). This creative, summative, pencil-and-paper, criterion-referenced, teacher-developed assessment of second graders’ writing displays multiple aspects of reliability. Reliability encourages the assessment to produce student work with consistent results across multiple days and classes (Ormrod, 2014) while validity how well the assessment measures the standard or objective (Ormrod, 2014). This multiple-day assignment allows students the opportunity to repair errors made when the student had a difficult day or difficulty focusing on a portion of the assignment. Additionally, upon completion, students are involved in the assessment process by determining where they believe they score on the rubric, which clearly details the expectations, and they may decide to edit their work. The validity of this assessment is clear as it assesses the student’s ability to write persuasive text with support to clearly define their side of an argument. This assessment is expected to produce reliable data about student learning about persuasive writing with supportive…

    The literacy area that will be discussed in this assessment is the student’s writing. When a child is learning how to write, they undergo five discovery stages, which are essential to their writing development. The first discovery stage, “I can make marks” the child realizes that they can control the form of the marks being made. The second discovery stage, “Writing vs. drawling”, the child realizes that the marks used for writing look different than those used in drawling. The third discovery stage, “noticing the features of print symbols”, the child becomes aware of the different shapes used to form letters such as loops, straight line and slanted lines. The fourth discovery stage, “there are a limited number of letter forms”, the child realizes that…

    Just as the nature of and expectation for literacy has changed in the past century and a half, so has the nature of writing. Much of that change has been due to technological developments, from pen and paper, to typewriter, to word processor, to networked computer, to design software capable of composing words, images, and sounds. These developments not only expanded the types of texts that writers produce, they also expanded immediate access to a wider variety of readers. With full recognition that writing is an increasingly multifaceted activity, we as teacher must offer several principles that should guide effective teaching practice.…
