# 1 Classroom Closet In your classroom, you notice there is a closet your teacher never opens. One day you open it. In several paragraphs, write a story telling what happens. T/D I fell down in it and i saw A ferocious math monster in It and i yelled miss Lola and Yelled help me. This response demonstrates an insufficient ability to compose a narrative. This brief response lists what happens to the character in the closet (I fell down it and i saw A ferocious math monster in It and i yelled miss Lola and Yelled help me). There is one specific detail to describe a character (ferocious math monster), but there is no elaboration detailing the setting (the closet is referred to as it) or the events (I fell down…i saw...i yelled). There is no sense of a story. The brevity (one run-on sentence) does not allow the reader to sense the person behind the words. The best-fit Content, Organization, and Style score for this piece of writing is a 1.

This response demonstrates an insufficient ability to compose a narrative. This response begins with a runaway opening (She’ll see all kinds of school suplies that they need) that fails to provide a setting for the narrative. The response then presents a list of specific supplies (construction paper and writing paper…Tape, marker, crayons, colored pencils, coloring boxes, pencils, copeses reading books, binders 200 papers spirel notebooks, big pink earasers, 15 big big pencils, math books…) and a brief extension (whatever you need everything you need for school). There is no sense of a story. There is little evidence of an organizational structure and neither an introduction nor a conclusion is present, leaving the response feeling incomplete. The brevity of the response does not allow the reader to sense the person behind the words. The best-fit Content, Organization, and Style score for this piece of writing is a 1.

One day you open it. In several paragraphs, write a story telling what happens. Intro Hi My name is morrie. I have some to tell you. I am going to tell you about when I open the teacher closet.

I that I was in troble. I run to the closet. I tack Some D,E candy and some of and some thies of that. I run outside. I was eating the D Concl candy. But I got into trouble. I never did it agin. This response demonstrates an insufficient ability to compose a narrative. This writing has a brief introduction (Hi my name is morrie. I have some to tell you. I am going to tell you about when I open the teacher closet) and a brief closing statement (But I got into trouble. I never did it agin), but the response only briefly describes the setting (One day I open the teacher closet) and provides a list of what was stolen (candy toys, pizes, piecher food, money) showing little evidence of an organizational pattern. The simple subject-verb sentences and lack of transitions create a series of events, but no complete story. The limited vocabulary, lack of sentence variety, and lack of transitions provide the reader with little sense of the person behind the words.

One day you open it. In several paragraphs, write a story telling what happens. Intro One day notice there is a closet in the classroom that my teacher never opens. T,D,D One day I open the closet. I wasn’t in the classroom. I was in the jnugle I seen E,D,E trees, bird and bugs. I look awird the I sooe a snack. I did not move then I run D and run. Then I was looking for the dore to go bake to the classroom I look E and look I look one more time I find a dore I find the dore I open the dore I E Concl was in the classroom do not go in that clost. This response demonstrates a weak ability to compose a narrative. Although the response has a brief opening statement (One day notice there is a closet in the classroom that my teacher never opens) and brief closing statement (do not go in that clost), there is little evidence of an organizational pattern. The response briefly describes the setting using a list without any elaboration (I was in the jnugle I seen trees, bird, and bugs). The response does provide some minor development by extending ideas beyond a series of events (One day notice there is a closet in the classroom that my teacher never opens…I wasn’t in the classroom. I was in the jnugle…I was looking for the dore to go bake to the classroom I look and look I look one more time…), a quality that a 1 level paper lacks. The response uses basic transitions (One day…Then…) that aid in connecting and moving the story, but the limited development of the response exhibits little sense of completeness. The attempt at variety in sentence structure and limited word choice provide the reader with a minimal sense of the person behind the words.

The teacher was talking to the princeable telling him what I had done. E Then they came out and the princeable said You are in detention for a week This response demonstrates a weak ability to compose a narrative. This selection has a brief introduction (It was the beginning of school when I was curios because I was wanting to know what was in the closet. I was planning to do it in October. Then I decided to do it sometime in December) and a brief closing statement (Then they came out and the princeable said You are in detention for a week) indicating an attempt at an organizational pattern by giving the story a beginning, middle, and end. The response provides some minor development (I was planning to do it in october. Then I decided to do it sometime in December…The teacher took me to the princeables office because I looked in the closet door) and some supporting details (October…December…behind the movies there was gum…to the hall…princeables office), but there is also extraneous detail (When the teacher caught me he was normal). The response describes the setting by listing the closet’s contents (movies, computers, pencils, vcrs, and a dvd player…), but the lack of elaboration keeps the story from being complete. The use of basic transitions (then…also…when…) aid in connecting the events of the story, but the limited vocabulary and the limited variety in sentence structure give the reader only a vague sense of the person behind the words. The best-fit Content, Organization, and Style score for this piece of writing is a 2.
