Abstract | Under the leadership of the Language Arts Curriculum Committee, the Greater Albany (Oregon) Public Schools conducted its second annual district assessment of writing skills of students in grades 5, 7, 9, and 11, using the "analytic trait scoring" method (ATS). The testing procedure, diagnostic in purpose, conformed to the writing process implemented through the district's Real Writing Project, and student papers were scored by teachers on six traits that comprise good writing: ideas and content, organization and development, voice, word choice, sentence structure, and writing conventions. The test was given in four testing sessions, each on a different day: the first for introduction and prewriting; the second for writing a rough draft; the third for revising; and the fourth for writing the final copy. Average scores for the analytic traits at each grade level indicated that student papers districtwide were such that observed strengths generally balanced observed weaknesses; i.e. that student writing skills were developing as reasonably expected at their respective grade levels. (Three figures are included. Writing samples and scores are presented for each grade level, as well as charts showing the percentages of strengths and weaknesses of the writing traits. Analytic rating guides for each writing trait, a sample student profile, a sample of school distribution of scores, samples of school comparison data, and grade level data tables are appended.)
