    Writing is a medium of communication that
    represents language through the inscription of signs
    and symbols. In most languages, writing is a
    complement to speech or spoken language

    Level 1 (Basic):
    A student at Level 1 recognizes agreement among
    basic elements (nouns, verbs, pronouns) in the same
    clause or phrase. This student avoids gross errors in
    short or simple structures and can logically select
    and order main ideas or divisions in a sustained
    paragraph using appropriate transition words.
    Students at this level demonstrate a basic
    understanding of appropriate writing.

    WRITING STANDARDS


    Level 2 (Intermediate):
    In addition to performing successfully at Level 1, a
    student who is proficient at level 2 recognizes
    appropriate agreement among basic elements when
    they are complicated by intervening words or
    phrases, avoids errors in relatively long and
    complicated constructions, and is able to recast
    several simple clauses using a single, more complex
    combination.
    Students performing at the intermediate level can
    recognize and use the elements of good writing.


    Level 3 (Mature):
    In addition to performing Level 1 and Level 2 skills
    successfully, a student at Level 3 produces logical
    statements and comparisons and manages to solve
    difficult or subtle writing problems, such as
    appropriate use of parallelism.
    These students discern fine distinctions among
    closely-related root words and grammatical
    structures characteristic of a mature writing style.


    Specific vivid language. Avoid words like thing, it, nice,
    and using this without a qualifier.
    Rich and varied vocabulary usage, which demonstrates an
    adult voice.
    Active voice whenever possible. Avoid passive voice.
    Varied and interesting sentence structure. Begin some
    sentences with different introductory phrases, etc.
    Mature use of punctuation. Expand beyond the comma (,) and
    the period (.) Use semi-colons (;), dashes (-), colons (:), and the
    ellipsis (). correctly!
    Style should increase clarity and decrease confusion.
    Always use the present tense when writing about literature.
    The work lives on every time we read it.
    Avoid using I in a persuasive / analytical piece. The reader
    knows it is your paper.
    Strike a balanced tone: not too casuals, not too formal. Never
    use slang in a style paper (or on the AP exam).
    Writing style

    Demonstrate original thinking; construct an original,
    solid interpretation of the text.
    Minimize summary and maximize interpretation.
    Avoid re-phrasing the question.
    know the correct terminology for the parts of the
    work that are examining.
    Presenting a range of ideas is impressive and reveals
    a scholarly approach to the work.
    Content

    Concentrate thorough paper that addresses the
    complex issues.
    Sort ideas into paragraphs, sequence ideas, introduce
    each idea with a topic sentence, link ideas with
    transitional phrases, support all claims with
    quotations from text,subordinate each paragraph
    back to the thesis.

    Format and Structure

    Underline the titles of long works:
    Eg: novels, plays, movies, long poems, periodicals, and
    pamphlets.
    Place quotation marks around the titles of short works:
    Eg: poems, short stories, a chapter or section from a larger
    work, essays, articles, and songs.
    Always provide an original, intelligent title for your
    paper. Your own essay title needs no underline, italics, or
    quotation marks.




    Always type major papers, using standard font,
    spacing, and margins. Double-space formal papers.
    Provide a title page. Center your engaging title about
    1/3 down the page; include title of work discussed.
    Put your name, period, the instructors name, and
    the date in the bottom right hand corner.
