In grades 3–5, there are two formats for assessing expository writing: one introduces a topic in a brief verbal prompt and asks students to develop a composition about that topic; the second format begins with a poem that introduces a topic. That topic is elaborated further by a brief verbal prompt that students use as a basis for writing their composition. The expository prompts are based on topics familiar to students and ask them to describe, discuss, explain, or analyze some aspect of the topic. Students draw on their own experience and what 2 1–5 points each, reader scores added 3 1–5 points each, reader scores added 4 1–6 points each, reader scores averaged 5 1–6 points each, reader scores added 6 0–4 points each they know to develop their ideas for their composition. Students in grades 3–5 have 30 minutes within which to respond to the expository prompt. Speculative prompt. The speculative prompt presents a brief scenario. Students use that scenario as a springboard for writing a story, drawing on stories they have read as well as their own experiences to develop ideas for their own stories. In grades 3–5, students have 30 minutes to plan and develop their story or composition. Explanatory prompt. In grades 6-8, explanatory prompts present students with an essay topic based on a quotation or adage, or based on a familiar topic. Each is a springboard for the student to write a composition” end quote.
