Introduction
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) Testing Section, NCDPI English/language
arts, and North Carolina State University-Technical Outreach for Public Schools (NCSU-TOPS) staff met
in September of 2001 and began the process that would result in new writing assessments and scoring
procedures for grades 4, 7, and 10. Writing committees for each grade level were established that included
regular education teachers, ESL teachers, exceptional children teachers, curriculum supervisors,
principals, and university faculty. The North Carolina Writing Assessment Scoring Model was developed
by NCDPI Testing Section and NCSU-TOPS staff, refined by the writing assessment advisory
committees, and approved by the State Board of Education (SBE) on January 9, 2003.
A pilot administration of the North Carolina Writing Assessment at grades 4, 7, and 10 was administered
in March 2003 to all eligible students. The students in grades 4 and 7 received 75 minutes to respond to
the pilot prompt; students in grade 10 received 100 minutes. The writing assessments, the scoring model,
and achievement level ranges were revised to reflect (1) changes in the English/language arts curriculum
emphasis and focus, and (2) the need to enhance the data analysis processes associated with the writing
assessments.
Changes to the North Carolina Writing Assessment at grades 4, 7, and 10 were initiated effective with the
2002-03 school year to reflect the revisions to the English/language arts curriculum adopted by the SBE
(1999), the recommendations of the Writing Assessment Task Force (2001), and the recommendations of
the SBE Ad Hoc Writing Committee (2002).

Appendix A displays a complete list of the types of writing by grade level and year.
Scoring Procedure
Student responses were scored using the North Carolina Writing Assessment Scoring Model which
consists of the following:
• a content component with a 1-4 score scale, and
• a conventions component with a 0-2 score scale.
All student responses are scored by two independent readers.
1
Report of Student Performance in Writing, Grades 4, 7, and 10, 2004-05
Scoring Procedure (continued)
The total writing score for each student is computed by combining the content and conventions scores in
the following manner:
Total Writing Assessment Score = sum of the (content component scores from the two independent
readers multiplied by 2) + the sum of the (conventions component scores from the two independent
readers multiplied by 1).
The Total Writing Score may be a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 20 for a given student.
Achievement Level Ranges
After carefully examining all data associated with the “Body of Work” and “Contrasting Groups”
standard-setting methods, the March 2003 pilot administration data, and the North Carolina Writing
Assessment Scoring Model, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) Accountability
Services and Instructional Services – English/language arts staff recommended the following
Achievement Level Ranges for approval by the SBE. This recommendation was approved by the SBE in
October 2003.

Students received the following information from the writing assessments: (a) point totals for content, (b)
point totals for conventions, (c) total writing scores, (d) Achievement Level, and (e) their imaged
responses were returned. A review procedure was incorporated into the scoring process for those students
whose Total Writing Score fell within one point of the cut line at Achievement Level III (Total Writing
Score = 11). This procedure precluded an LEA appeal mechanism, as conducted under the previous
focused holistic scoring system.
Alternate Assessments for North Carolina Writing Assessment at
Grades 4, 7, and 10
To comply with the IDEA Amendments of 1997, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
(NCDPI) Division of Accountability Services/North Carolina Testing Section and the NCDPI Exceptional
Children Division worked collaboratively with other stakeholders to develop and implement the North
Carolina Alternate Assessment Portfolio (NCAAP) and initiated the design and development of the North
Carolina Computerized Adaptive Testing System (NCCATS) accommodation. However, it became
evident in the fall of 2000 that the needs of certain students with disabilities were not being met by these
efforts. In an effort to meet these needs, the North Carolina Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory
(NCAAAI) was developed and piloted in the spring of 2001. One purpose this alternate assessment
2
Report of Student Performance in Writing, Grades 4, 7, and 10, 2004-05
Alternate Assessments for North Carolina Writing Assessment at Grades 4, 7, and 10 (continued)
serves is as an alternate assessment for the standard administration of the North Carolina Writing
Assessment at Grades 4, 7, and 10.
With the passing of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, it became apparent that an
appropriate assessment for qualifying LEP students was also needed. The NCAAAI, taken on-grade
level, became a solution. Beginning with the 2002-03 school year, LEP students that met length of
enrollment and language proficiency requirements as set forth in SBE policy HSP-C-005 were eligible to
participate in the NCAAAI. As part of the writing assessment at grades 4, 7, and 10, the NCAAAI for
writing was piloted during the 2002-03 school year.
The Writing Assessment Component of the NCAAAI
North Carolina Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (NCAAAI). The North Carolina Alternate
Assessment Academic Inventory (NCAAAI) is an alternate assessment designed for students with
disabilities who have an IEP and has been adapted for students with limited English proficiency (LEP)
who meet eligibility criteria. Participating students are unable to participate in state test administrations
under standard conditions or with accommodations. Student performance on the tested objectives is
addressed by the teachers at the beginning of the year (baseline), midyear, and at the end of the year.
Participating students follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Teachers use this academic
checklist to document student performance on objectives in the specific content areas. All students
participating in the NCAAAI in writing must be assessed on-grade level (at the assigned grade level) in
grades 4, 7, and 10. Students can receive an Achievement Level of I, II, III, or IV. The assessor (the
teacher) also indicates on the academic checklist if the student achieved growth on the content being
assessed. The NCAAAI was piloted in the 2000-01 school year and administered operationally in the
2001-02 school year. The state writing assessment (including the writing assessment component of the
NCAAAI) was piloted in the 2002-03 school year. The 2003-04 NCAAAI administration was a fully
operational assessment. This report includes the NCAAAI results for writing for the 2003-04 school year.
NCAAP Component of Writing Assessment
North Carolina Alternate Assessment Portfolio (NCAAP). Within the North Carolina Standard Course of
Study for English/language arts, there are five competency areas, each of which is paired with a statement
of its critical “essence.” These essence statements provide the broadest possible view of the competency
to promote inclusion of the students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The fourth and fifth
competency areas are used in the North Carolina Alternate Assessment Portfolio (NCAAP) to
demonstrate performance in writing for fourth, seventh, and tenth grade students participating in this yearlong, performance-based assessment. Writing is assessed as a component of the English/language arts
requirement for the NCAAP. Since the state writing assessment was a pilot for the 2002-03 school year,
the results from the writing component of the NCAAP are also reported as results from a pilot
administration. The 2003-04 NCAAP administration was a fully operational assessment.

Results of the
Writing
Assessment
at Grade 4
Students in the fourth grade were asked to write a personal narrative response to
the following prompt:
Imagine you were walking outside and you saw a huge tree. When you go closer,
you noticed that there was a small door in the side of the tree. You opened the
door. Write a story about what happened the time you saw a huge tree and opened
the door.
Contracted readers scored 101,726 public school responses for grade 4 after the
2004-05 writing assessment. The scores show that 49.4 percent of the fourth
graders wrote well enough to score at or above Level III. This represents an
increase of 10.7 percentage points from the 38.7 percent who achieved this level in
2003-04 test administration. Less than 5.0 percent of the fourth graders in the
2004-05 writing assessment received the highest scores (Level IV) and 9.8 percent
received the lowest scores (Level I). In 2004-05, less than one percent (0.3) of the
papers had problems which made them non-scorable. Non-scorable papers receive
Achievement Level I ratings and are included in the state results as Level I scores.
The average weighted content score for fourth graders taking the assessment in
2004-05 was 8.6 on a scale of four to sixteen. The average conventions score was
2.4 on a scale of zero to four. The average Total Writing Score was 11.1 of a
possible 20. The Total Score Range is 4-20.
Observations
One observation from the writing assessment is that students in grade 4 appear to
have relatively stronger content scores and relatively weaker convention scores
than students in grades 7 and 10. At grade 4, where students performed better in
content, they achieved significant gains in total writing scores as well.
The following additional observations were noted during the scoring process:
•
The prompt was accessible to all students.
•
Only 0.3 percent of students received a non-scorable response.
•
The opening of the door in the tree provided an effective prompt to an
imaginative story. There were numerous focuses in the stories: getting into
the tree, getting out of the tree, having an adventure related to being inside a
tree, or using the tree to begin telling a story totally unrelated to trees (i.e.,
being a hero of a baseball game). The students seemed to understand and
respond well to this prompt.
•
Some common topics were squirrels, leprechauns, elf cookie factories,
fairies, candy, club houses loaded with “the works,” and roller coasters.
Common techniques for ending the story were remembering it was time to
go home to eat dinner, waking up to find it had all been a dream, or turning

around to find the tree had disappeared.
•
There were numerous responses that spent a couple paragraphs on finding
the door and getting in, a couple of paragraphs on what happened inside the
tree, and a short ending of waking up from a dream or turning around to
find the tree gone.
•
A large number of students incorporated dialogue into their stories. There
were varied levels of control of punctuation for dialogue demonstrated;
however, the evidence indicates there is a widespread understanding of how
to use dialogue among the students.
Gender
Approximately 56.7 percent of the female students scored at or above Level III
compared to 42.3 percent for male students.
Ethnicity
About 65.0 percent of Asian students scored at or above Level III compared to 58.5
percent of the White students, 51.3 percent of Multi-Racial students, 35.0 percent
of Hispanic students, 34.6 percent of Black students, and 30.3 percent of American
Indian students.
There were 101,726 fourth grade public school student responses scored by two
independent readers. The inter-rater reliability rates (agreement rates) of the
readers are shown below in Table 3. The 70.0 percent criterion rate for perfect
agreement based upon industry standards was exceeded and the resolutions
required were few.

The following pages, and Appendix B, present data for the Grade 4 writing
assessment, as well as the alternate assessments, administered since a new scoring
model was piloted in March 2003. Figure 1 indicates that a substantial change
occurred in the percentage of students scoring at or above Achievement Level III
on the regular test between the pilot year and the current year (0.1% increase
between 2002-03 and 2003-04, 10.7% increase between 2003-04 and 2004-05).
Table 8, a table of Achievement Levels by subgroup, demonstrates that females
outperformed males. Also, Asian, White, and Multi-Racial students performed at a
higher level than the Hispanic, Black, and American Indian subgroups. Table 10,

the frequency distribution, shows that a very small percentage of fourth graders
reached Achievement Level IV (less than 3.0%), while about 47.7 percent of the
students received a III, about 40.9 percent received a II, and 9.8 percent received
the lowest Achievement Level.

Notes: 1"Membership" is the total number of students on the 2004-05 Masterbuild data file.
2
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the writing assessment.
3
"Percent Tested" may exceed 100.0 percent due to coding differences between the Masterbuild file and student test documents for the N.C. Writing Assessment.
4
Data for the alternate assessments came from the AAAI and AAP test documents.
*Performance data are not reported when number tested is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.
†These data represent coding on the 2004-05 test documents. The "Number Tested" and the "Number Participating" may be higher than "Membership" because "Membership" represents coding
from the Masterbuild files and the "Number Tested" and "Number Participating" from the Winscan files.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 25, 2005 are not included in this table.

Notes: 1"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the writing test.
2
"Percent" is calculated based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Some categories may not add up to the total due to missing coding.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 25, 2005 are not included in this table.

Sample Student Responses
The North Carolina Writing Assessment Scoring Model is comprised of a content component
with a 1-4 score scale and a conventions component with a 0-2 score scale. To report a total
writing scale score for each student, the score is computed by combining the content and
conventions scores using the following model:
Total Writing Assessment Score = sum of the (content component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 2) + the sum of the (conventions component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 1).
The following pages provide copies of sample student responses from grade 4. The total content
score, total conventions score, total writing score, achievement level, and annotated explanations
of the scores are provided for each response.

Content Annotation:
While this response establishes a subject (eating in the tree and getting stuck) the
response remains incomplete because there is only a sparse series of events with very
little elaboration (I was done eating, I was stuck in the tree so I stade stuck for a year and
thin I was so skine I got out and lived happely ever after). There is an attempt to provide
details (little blue door…cookies, cake and a coze bed), as well as some purposeful
vocabulary, (full as a bus), but the story remains very general and incomplete.
Conventions Annotation:
While there are some correct sentences there are also many run-ons and in a small sample
of writing the errors demonstrate a lack of control of sentence formation. (The next
morning I ate some more cookies and cake boy was I full I was the size of a bus whin I
was done eating I got out of the tree but thin I noticed that I was stuck in the tree…). In
addition there are some basic misspellings (whin, thin). These types of error indicate a
lack of control of conventions.

II
Content Annotation:
This response is somewhat vague due to the major lapses in the logical progression and
elaboration of the events and details. Although the story remains focused on rescuing the
woodchuck, not all events are well-connected or explained, indicating a weak
organizational plan and very limited elaboration. “We both desided to trap him. The first
trap didn’t work but the second trap did. He apologized I bet a MILLION times but it
didn’t work for me. Woodchuck sujested to through him the sewer but we ended up
throughing him down the laundry shuit.” There is an attempt to use precise language, “As
I reflected back on my day,” but there is also improperly used vocabulary, “Reludtantly I
found the keys and set him free.” The result is a minimally complete story.
Conventions Annotation:
This response demonstrates consistent control of sentence formation, correct verb tense
and mostly correct punctuation of dialogue, there is even correct use of parentheses. Even
though there are some spelling errors, this response demonstrates reasonable control of
conventions.

Content Annotation:
This is a vague story. While there is a logical progression of ideas, there are major lapses
in the elaboration and contains mostly general undeveloped details “They talked over
there problums. It lasted for hours. They both had hundreds of probums. They finished
with they decided to eat all the food.” There is minimal use of precise language or
sentence variety.
Conventions Annotations:
There are several run-ons, (It was really weird I couldn’t figer out why I should go home.)
Some inconsistency in tense usage (I counted about two hours later the fighting stop. I
ask the leder why they were fighting…) and mechanical errors in spelling (whey, leder,
setal, Wonice) The variety of errors in sentence formation, usage, and mechanics
demonstrates only minimal control of conventions.

Content Annotation:
This is a complete story with only minor lapses in the logical progression of ideas.
Although somewhat limited in the elaboration, the details and events narrated (the girl
that did not wave and person that walked through the author) remain focused on the
result of eating the magic watermelon and provide a sense of completeness. There is
some precise language used and a variety in sentence structure. (I started walking
down the street when I waved to a little girl and do you know what she did? Nothing.
She just cept on walking down the road).
Conventions Annotations:
There are a few minor mechanical errors (Ther, i’ve, fealing) but in general this piece
demonstrates a reasonable control of conventions in sentence structure, usage, and
mechanics.

Content Annotation:
This is a clearly focused story. The strong organizational plan is evident in the
effective use of events and details to result in a clear logical progression of events of
discovering the tree folk city, capturing the owl, and receiving a reward. The reward
was even well explained and connected as something the tree people had found on the
street. Every detail and event provided was essential to the story. There is purposeful
and skillful use of some precise vocabulary and sentence variety (the huge owl
swooped, I looped the rope,…the owl was defeated…). The result is a unified and
skillfully crafted story.
Conventions Annotations:
The sentence formation is correct, as is the usage, and other than a few misspelled
word, (atacked, grabed, gaint) the mechanics are correct. This response demonstrates
reasonable control of conventions.

Report of Student Performance in Writing Grades 4, 7, and 10, 2004-05
Grade 7
Results of the
Writing
Assessment
at Grade 7
Students in the seventh grade were asked to write an "argumentative" evaluation
response to the following prompt:
At the end of every school year, your principal chooses one way the school could
be improved. Your principal bases the choice on recommendations from
students. This year students have proposed the following improvements:
•
•
•
An outdoor lunch area
New sports equipment for the gym

your school.
Contracted readers scored 106,957 public school responses for grade 7 after the
2004-05 writing assessment. The scores show that 46.7 percent of the seventh
graders wrote well enough to score at or above Level III. This represents an
increase of 5.8 percentage points from the 40.9 percent who achieved this level
in the 2002-03 pilot test administration, and a 1.2 percent increase over 2003-04
results. Less than five percent of the seventh graders in the 2004-05 writing
assessment received the highest scores in Level IV and 6.0 percent received the
lowest scores in Level I. In 2004-05, less than one percent (0.2) of the papers
had problems which made them non-scorable. Non-scorable papers receive
Achievement Level I rankings and are included in the state results as Level I
scores.
The average weighted content score for seventh graders taking the assessment in
2004-05 was 8.1 on a scale of four to sixteen. The average conventions score
was 2.8 on a scale of zero to four. The average Total Writing Score was 10.9 of
a possible 20.
Observations
The following additional observations were noted during the scoring process:
• The prompt was accessible to all students.
•
Only 0.2 percent of students received a non-scorable response.
•
Responses that achieved a content score of two often fell into one of two
categories. The typical response attempted to address the subject of the
prompt too broadly. The support in these responses remained general and
sparse or general and repetitive. Other responses introduced an idea and
had support for the idea, but the support remained list-like. Details were
seldom developed, and any relationship between details was not
established in a way to work together as elaboration on an idea.
•
The responses most often took the form of the five-paragraph essay, in
which the responses presented three ideas about the school improvement
59
Report of Student Performance in Writing Grades 4, 7, and 10, 2004-05
but failed to elaborate/support clearly. This structure did not equal any
particular score, and examples were found at all score-point levels.

Performance of
Subgroups
at Grade 7
•
Conventions differed considerably in both the type and number of errors
committed. The most common sentence formation errors were run-ons
and comma-splices, fragments, and incorrectly used phrases and clauses.
•
The most common usage error was clearly the failure to use a word
according to standard meaning, such as there for their or to for too.
Incorrect use of verbs (both tense and agreement errors) represented the
next most often seen usage errors in responses.
•
For mechanics, spelling and comma usage (both missing and
unnecessary commas) constituted the most errors.
Gender
Approximately 56.2 percent of the female students scored at or above Level compared
to 37.6 percent for male students.
Ethnicity
About 58.4 percent of Asian students scored at or above Level III compared to 56.9
percent of the White students, 48.6 percent of Multi-Racial students, 32.2 percent of
Hispanic students, 30.2 percent of Black students, and 30.0 percent of American Indian
students.
There were 106,957 seventh grade public school student responses scored by
two independent readers. The inter-rater reliability rates (agreement rates) of the
readers are shown below in Table 21. The 70.0 percent criterion rate for perfect
agreement based upon industry standards was exceeded and the resolutions
required were few.

The following pages, and Appendix C, present data for the Grade 7 writing
assessment, and the alternate assessments data, administered since a new scoring
model was piloted in March 2003. Figure 4 shows that the percent of students
scoring at or above Achievement Level III on the regular test increased between
the pilot year and the current year (5.8% increase between 2002-03 and 2003-04,
and 1.2 percent increase between 2003-04 and 2004-05). Table 26, a table of
Achievement Levels by subgroup, demonstrates that females outperformed

males in Grade 7 as in Grade 4. Also, Asian, White, and Multi-Racial students
performed at a higher level than the American Indian, Black, and Hispanic
subgroups as in Grade 4. Table 28, the frequency distribution, shows that very
few seventh graders reached Achievement Level IV (178 of 106,957 students),
while about 46.5 percent of the students received a III, almost half (47.3%)
received a II, and 6.0 percent received the lowest Achievement Level.

Sample Student Responses
The North Carolina Writing Assessment Scoring Model is comprised of a content component
with a 1-4 score scale and a conventions component with a 0-2 score scale. To report a total
writing scale score for each student, the score is computed by combining the content and
conventions scores using the following model:
Total Writing Assessment Score = sum of the (content component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 2) + the sum of the (conventions component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 1).
The following pages provide copies of sample student responses from grade 7. The total content
score, total conventions score, total writing score, achievement level, and annotated explanations
of the scores are provided for each response.

Content Annotation:
Although the response seems to have much to say about the benefits of new sport
equipment, there is little in the way of focus and no apparent organizational structure.
The structure does not establish relationships between/across ideas (It would help if you
replaced all the old equment because we don’t need the old stuff en more. Also you could
give it to the need children or good Will store. Yes new equments a must have bat some
people like to Destroy school stuff. All of the higher edeacted school have new equmat.).
As a result, the support offered seems merely random and is confusing (If they hug of
with them and might just become best friends. People talk to each other and all the time
and comepet agin other people all the time also it teaches good sportmenship. When I
play with new gym equment it make me feel happy and I don’t care wate people think
about me. Yes it is expencive to buy new gym stuff but we would love it. Then school will
be more peace full…). There is little precise word choice and the sentence variety that is
present does not demonstrate sentence fluency.
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits a lack of control of conventions. There are numerous sentence
formation errors such as the following: I Just hear about you not know wate to update
this year I have one sugestion it is buying new sports equment for the gym \ Also Does not
mean that the school is Dirt cheap like most schools \ So Mrs.______Please get us sone
new gym equment for next year hopefull your think about my sugestion \ People talk to
each other and all the time and comepet agin other people all the time also it teaches
good sportmenship. There are several usage errors (hear for here, it make you),
numerous capitalization errors and many punctuation errors, including missing commas
after introductory words, before coordinating conjunctions and between clauses. There
are also numerous spelling errors throughout the response, including sugestion, equment,
en, scheol, edeacted, comming, lak, schole, comepet, sportmenship, expencive, peace full,
princebale, alot, peo.

Content Annotation:
There is a generally clear topic (See principal the school needs new sports equipment for
the gym), and an organizational structure is apparent (Fristly…Nextly…Finally). Support
and elaboration is genera1 and undeveloped and is often list-like (Nextly the volleyball
nets have so many awful holes in them you can’t tell weather it went over or just went
thourgh one of the holes. The nets are so old my dad used them when he went to school
here. And with new net our school will look nicer at volleyball games and stuff.)
Vocabulary is only minimally precise and purposeful; the variety of sentence structures
demonstrates some reasonable sentence fluency.
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits a lack of control of conventions. There are several sentence
formation errors (I was thinking maybe some dodge balls and nets for volleyball plus we
need better games to play…\ …Finally we need better, fun games at gym with the new
equipment for the gym then games should be added… \ … So principle, of ________
middle school based on my choice on recommendations all the reasen I wrote a excellent
way for improvement at _______ Middle School.). There are several usage errors (cotton
in them are fall out… weather for whether…our for are, a for an). There are also many
spelling errors (wondelful, Fristly, snice, diffulty, thourgh, etc.), incorrect formation of
plurals (reason for reasons, volleyballs net for a volleyball net) and punctuation errors,
mostly misplaced or missing commas. These errors impede the reader's understanding of
the ideas conveyed.

Content Annotation:
The focus is generally clear and an organizational structure is evident. However, there
are major lapses in the logical progression of ideas and much of the support and
elaboration is undeveloped and present in a list-like fashion. For instance, in the second
paragraph the idea that students would have better help on homework is supported with
two bare, undeveloped ideas, access the internet would give them a better way to recieve
information and students…could finish it quickly and efficiently. Also, in the third
paragraph, the relationship between the ideas of heavy text books and make people more
organized is not clearly made, and, in the fourth paragraph, support is given for how
computers would make projects and reserch paper’s neater but not for how they would
improve grades and the learning process. The style is often 3-like in vocabulary and
sentence fluency, but holistically the response remains a scorepoint of 2 for content.
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits reasonable control of conventions. There is a usage error (books
that has to be carried), a few spelling errors (recieve, when ever, reserch), a repeated
capitalization error (Laptop), and a few apostrophe errors (paper’s, Laptop’s). Overall,
however, there are few errors in relationship to the amount of writing, and these errors do
not impede the reader’s understanding of the ideas conveyed.

Content Annotation:
The topic of new sports equipment for the gym is generally clear, and the response
develops an organizational structure that consists of a logical progression of ideas and
events. In the second paragraph, the issue of safety is supported and elaborated with a
concrete example (...we were going under the net to sitdown for a break and the net fell
on some kids.). In the third paragraph, the idea of health benefits of new equipment is
well elaborated with the example of the uncle (When I went to my uncles house he just
got a new NFL football because his heart doctor, Dr._______ suggested he get outside
and do something to stay fit. So know he plays on a local 25 or older football team! This
is why we need new equipment so kids will have good health for the future, and to stay
fit.). The response also exhibits some reasonably precise and purposeful vocabulary
(hazzard, obesety, death trap), and some reasonable sentence fluency, though some
repeated sentence patterns using the word so weakens sentence fluency. (This is why we
must have new equipment so we and other people will be safe, in our gym. \ This is why
we need new equipment so kids will have good health for the future, and to stay fit.)
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits minimal use of conventions. Although there are many correctly
formed sentences and examples of correct usage and mechanics, there are several
different conventions errors throughout the response. There is a sentence formation error
(It is not really the best for us, because kids can get hurt on the old equipment, it is a big
hazzard). There are a couple of capitalization errors (Dear principal, the students of this
school...) and several misspellings (leval, obesety, resons), and a plural form error
(Doctors, and scientist say). There are also a variety of punctuation errors. These include
unnecessary or misplaced commas (...not really the best for us, because...\ ...and might
get hurt really bad, unless we get new equipment...\...and other people will be safe, in our
gym…\ ...Doctors, and scientist say...\ ... so kids will have good health for the future, and
to stay fit.). There are also many missing commas after introductory/transitional words
and phrases, before coordinating conjunctions and between introductory subordinate
clauses.

Content Annotation:
The topic of the benefits of laptop computers is clear and focus is maintained throughout
the response. The response has an organizational structure that establishes relationships
between and among ideas, and the support and elaboration is supportive of the subject. In
the second paragraph, the ideas of ease of use and the flexibility of laptops are clearly
related to the topic and are developed with specific details that progress logically.
(...nobody likes using dictionaries. You have to find the begginning letter in the word and
scan through dozens of words until you find the single one that you are looking for....
With great features such as www.dicitionary.com, it is far easier to find what you're
looking for. Just type the word you want, hit go, and it pops up instantly.) Also, in the
third paragraph, the idea of the growth of technology and the growth in the importance of
technology is supportive of the topic and is developed with specific details. (Eventually
everything that we use is going to be some form of computer. Whether it be a machine for
making parts for automobiles or your toaster, we are using computers in nearly every
aspect of our lives.) With the possible exceptions of the use of the word features in the
second paragraph and the phrase growing faster in the third paragraph, the response
exhibits precise and purposeful vocabulary. With the use of a variety of sentence types to
establish effective relationships between and among ideas, the response demonstrates
skillful sentence fluency.
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits reasonable control of conventions. There are only a few minor
errors throughout the response. There is a possible comma error (Technology is growing
all around us, but in school, we are still restricted…) and a misspelling (begginning).

Results of the
Writing
Assessment at
Grade 10
Students in the tenth grade were asked to write an "informational" definition
response to the following prompt:
Write an article for a school newspaper about the meaning of individuality as it
relates to being a member of a group. You may use the following information,
your own experiences, observations, and/or readings.
Individuality: 1. The quality of being individual: distinctiveness. 2. The aggregate* of qualities
and characteristics that distinguish one from others.
Source: Webster’s II New College Dictionary
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order,
we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order we must first cultivate our
personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already
enough people to do that.

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even
humble individual – for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between
good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

*aggregate: whole sum or amount
Contracted readers scored 93,862 public school responses for grade 10 after the
2004-05 writing assessment. The scores show that 47.8. percent of the tenth
graders wrote well enough to score at or above Level III. A small percentage of
the tenth graders in the 2004-05 writing assessment received the highest scores in
Level IV and 17.6 percent received the lowest scores in Level I. In 2004-05, 0.5
percent of the papers had problems which made them non-scorable. Nonscorable papers receive Achievement Level I ratings and are included in the state
results as Level I scores.
The average weighted content score for tenth graders taking the writing
assessment in 2004-05 was 7.4 on a scale of four to sixteen. The average
conventions score was 2.8 on a scale of zero to four. The average Total Writing
Score was 10.3 of a possible 20.

Report of Student Performance in Writing, Grades 4, 7, and 10, 2004-05
Observations
The following observations were noted during the scoring process:
•
The prompt was accessible to all students.
•
Only 0.5 percent of students received a non-scorable response.
•
Some students were confused by the prompt, addressing only one part of
the task (i.e., writing about individuality OR being a member of a group).
A number of students tried to write a whole newspaper, with various
articles about different school events. Others wrote an article, but did not
address individuality or being a member of a group at all. Few students
engaged the entire task. Some students often seemed confused by the
concepts of the individual and the group, which they saw as mutually
exclusive.
•
While the prompt was intended to illicit responses defining individuality as
a member of a group, many students engaged it in a persuasive mode
(reasons why you should be yourself). Some students even wrote
narratives.
•
Some of the quotes seemed difficult for the students to interpret. This was
particularly true of the Voltaire quote, “No snowflake in an avalanche ever
feels responsible.” Most students seemed to feel that this meant being in a
group should absolve one from responsibility. A number of students merely
copied the quotes or copied with a few connecting comments.
•
Most often, organization followed a five-paragraph theme structure. Many
times, this was based on the prompt (your own experiences, observations,
and/or readings). This structure did not equal any particular score, and
examples were found at all score-point levels.
•
Most writers chose similar subjects to address in an attempt to support their
ideas about individuality as a member of a group. Sports teams were a
common theme, as were social cliques at school (jocks, preps, Goths,
skateboarders…). Many said these social groups lacked individuality,
though many students wrote that one could be in these groups and maintain
one’s individuality. Some students felt that individuality meant to be
completely alone.
•
Conventions issues included problematic internal punctuation (the most
common issue was comma placement), spelling errors, problems with basic
grammar, and sentence formation errors. Overall, many students were able
to demonstrate reasonable control.

Performance of
Subgroups at
Grade 10
Gender
Approximately 56.2 percent of the female students scored at or above Level III
compared to 39.1 percent for male students.
Ethnicity
About 57.2 percent of White students scored at or above Level III compared to
51.4 percent of the Asian students, 52.4 percent of Multi-Racial students, 30.8
percent of Black students, 28.4 percent of American Indian students, and 26.3
percent of Hispanic students.
There were 93,862 tenth grade public school student responses scored by two
independent readers. The inter-rater reliability rates (agreement rates) of the
readers are shown in Table 39. The 70.0 percent criterion rate for perfect
agreement based upon industry standards was exceeded and the resolutions
required were few.

The following pages, and Appendix D, present data for the Grade 10 writing
assessment, and alternate assessments data, administered since a new scoring
model was piloted in March 2003. Figure 8 indicates that an increase in the
percent of students scoring at or above Achievement Level III on the regular test
occurred between the pilot year and the current year (7.9% increase from 200203 to 2003-04), but a decrease occurred between 2003-04 and 2004-05 (4.7%).
Table 44, a table of Achievement Levels by subgroup, demonstrates that females
outperformed males as in Grades 4 and 7. Also, White, Asian, and Multi-Racial
students performed at a higher level than the Hispanic, American Indian, and
Black subgroups as in Grades 4 and 7. Table 46, the frequency distribution,
shows that a small number of tenth graders reached Achievement Level IV (241
of 93,862), while almost 47.5 percent of the students received a III,
approximately 34.6 percent received a II, and 17.6 percent received the lowest
Achievement Level.

Notes: 1"Membership" is the total number of students on the 2004-05 Masterbuild data file.
2
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the writing assessment.
3
"Percent Tested" may exceed 100.0 percent due to coding differences between the Masterbuild file and student test documents for the N.C. Writing Assessment.
4
Data for the alternate assessments came from the AAAI and AAP test documents.
*Performance data are not reported when number tested is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.
†These data represent coding on the 2004-05 test documents. The "Number Tested" and the "Number Participating" may be higher than "Membership" because "Membership" represents coding
from the Masterbuild files and the "Number Tested" and "Number Participating" from the Winscan files.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 25, 2005 are not included in this table.

Sample Student Responses
The North Carolina Writing Assessment Scoring Model is comprised of a content component
with a 1-4 score scale and a conventions component with a 0-2 score scale. To report a total
writing scale score for each student, the score is computed by combining the content and
conventions scores using the following model:
Total Writing Assessment Score = sum of the (content component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 2) + the sum of the (conventions component scores from two independent
readers multiplied by 1).
The following pages provide copies of sample student responses from grade 10. The total content
score, total conventions score, total writing score, achievement level, and annotated explanations
of the scores are provided for each response.

Content Annotation:
While the response establishes a focus (are the youth of today giving up their
individuality…I think this is the case…), details are sparse (The only thing I can really
say about the situation is that people should be themselves…), and attempts at
organization do little to establish connections between ideas. Support becomes confusing
(I don’t know the answer, I don’t even think the people that participate in the practice of
deciept do.). While some precise vocabulary is offered (Have they given up their own
individuality to become puppets in the social world or is it simply a mask used to gain
acceptance?), so little is written that sentence fluency is not demonstrated.
Conventions Annotation:
This response demonstrates minimal control of grammatical conventions. Sentence
formation errors are frequent, including comma splices (…more and more alike, the
gangstas…it still gets worse, they all seem…I don’t know the answer, I don’t even
think…), a direct run on (you are all you’ve got” remember her few words…), and
missing end punctuation at the end of the paper. Additional errors are present in internal
punctuation (the coolest group but, in doing…Honestly I don’t know…). Within the
scope of this brief paper, errors are too dense to merit a higher score.

Content Annotation:
While the topic of this response is generally clear (To be an individual, as it relates to a
group, means to put yourself first, to be yourself, and to be responsible for you own
actions…), the organization structure establishes little relationship between ideas.
Developing the three ideas presented in the first paragraph in a different order is a major
lapse in the logical progression. Support is characterized by general and undeveloped
details which become repetitious (…you must always remember to take care of
yourself…If we all took better care of ourselves, and had a better self image, there would
not be as much of a need for help from others…To be an individual, we need to recognize
our own importance and therefore look after our own selves first…). There is minimal
use of vocabulary that is precise and purposeful, and sentence fluency is minimal (To be
an individual, as it relates to a group, means to put yourself first, to be yourself, and to be
responsible for your own actions – not the actions of others…As quoted for Voltaire…).
Conventions Annotation:
While some errors are present, this response exhibits reasonable control of grammatical
conventions. Errors include a few missing commas and a usage error (your for “you’re”).

Content Annotation:
While the topic of this response is generally clear (students & adults should be
individuals), support and elaboration are general (Be open to new experiences & new
ideas. Dont sell yourself short you are a awesome person. Everyone is different &
unique and you should embrace it; not cover it up. People will like you for who you
are…) or list-like (Don’t join student government because all your friends do. Join
because it’s something you want to do. And if you really enjoy math dont be afraid to
join math bowl because you don’t think your friends would approve…). When the details
are specific, major weaknesses in relatedness are present (Watson & Crick might have
feared rejection & embarrassment…), the student doesn’t explain why. The response
demonstrates minimal use of precise and purposeful vocabulary and minimal sentence
fluency.
Conventions Annotation:
The response exhibits minimal control of grammatical conventions. Sentence formation
errors include a fragment (Make their own ideas regardless of what others may think.)
and several run on sentences (Dont see yourself short you are an awesome person. Dont
feel like you have to be exactly like your friends be an individual.). Some problems in
grammar (a for “an”) and punctuation (In these groups people…However students…And
if you really enjoy math dont…) are present. There is a persistent problem using
apostrophes to indicate contractions (dont, arnt). Errors are too dense and too severe to
receive a higher score.

Content Annotation:
The topic of this essay is generally clear, though only explicitly stated in the final
paragraph (You don’t have to defy all social conventions in order to have individuality).
The response remains focused on this idea, and the organizational structure establishes
relationships between ideas. Elaboration consists of some specific details that support the
student’s ideas (On the football team…Wide recievers have a vastly different job…If a
center decided to run all the way down the feild…the results would be devastating…),
though much of the development is general (Perhaps its time to redefine
individuality…being completely different is highly overrated and impossible…). The use
of vocabulary and sentence fluency is reasonable (We see Britney Spears rejecting her
old girl next door image for something older and sexier (or as most think, skankier) and
Avril Lavine portraying herself as the “anti-Britney”…).
Conventions Annotation:
The essay exhibits minimal control of grammatical conventions. There are a number of
severe errors in sentence formation, including a run on (On the football team, everyone
must have the same goal (winning or playing your best) they must…) and several comma
splices (A group is made up of individuals, thats what…In a group individuals get to
interact with other individuals, this interaction…). There is a persistent problem using
apostrophes to indicate contractions (its…its…thats…). Errors in basic grammar are also
present (everywhere we looks). The paper lacks many commas (In popular culture we
are…In a group individuals…For, by working with and associating with others your own
skills…). Spelling errors can also be found (modles…recievers…feild…).

Content Annotation:
The topic of this essay is clear, though not explicitly stated until the end of the paper
(individuality can be great or quite a bit less than great.) This focus is maintained
throughout the response.
A sophisticated organizational structure establishes
relationships between ideas and draws the reader in. The writer knows that they will
shock the reader by comparing two vastly different icons, one much loved, and the other
reviled. There is a logical progression of ideas, and the response is unified and complete.
The writer supports his/her ideas with specific, developed details (A bus stop, and a
young African-American woman puts her foot on the stairs of a diesel powered
vehicle…A country that has lost its pride, distraught from their recent defeat in WWI…).
The essay exhibits skillful use of both vocabulary and sentence fluency (Some would say
these two should never be compared, or mentioned together in such a manner…True
individuality stems from complete security with one’s self…).
Conventions Annotation:
The essay demonstrates reasonable control of sentence formation, word usage, and
mechanics. Very few errors are present.

"Percent of All Students" within a category may not add up to 100.0 percent due to rounding or blanks.
3
Inconsistencies in numbers reported are due to errors in coding on student answer sheets.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to
95.0 percent, are not displayed.
When summed, subgroup N counts may not match the "All Students" N count because of incomplete coding on some student answer sheets.
The total of "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504 but not those in the "Not Coded" category.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 25, 2005 are not included in this table.

"Percent of All Students" within a category may not add up to 100.0 percent due to rounding or blanks.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than
or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.
Data are not collected for Section 504 or Specific Learning Disabled students by subject.
When summed, subgroup N counts may not match the "All Students" N count because of incomplete coding on some student answer sheets.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 25, 2005 are not included in this table.

North Carolina, believing that an emphasis on writing instruction was needed and that the
measurement of writing would enhance instruction, began a statewide writing assessment program
in 1983-84. Since that time, students' writing skills have improved as evident by test results,
comments from university personnel, and business leaders. Changes in the program have occurred
over time as illustrated below.
