TCAP Writing Assessment

This week students take the TCAP Writing Assessment on Tuesday, February 25.  This will be the 4th grade students' first time taking the test and it will be administered online.  During Writing Camp, students will receive additional instruction in both word processing and analytical (non-fiction/essay) writing.  These sessions will reinforce learning completed in class.



Students will read two complex informational texts.
Texts will cover social studies or science topics.  We will not know the topic(s) ahead of time.
Students will write two essays:
One analytical summary about the first text.
One analytical essay about both texts. The essay will be informational/explanatory or opinion/argument.
