Extended Constructed Response/Writing Resources for Grades 5 & 8

Each piece of student writing is given a holistic score ranging from 0 (lowest) to 4 (highest) on the writing section of the grades 5 & 8 Oklahoma School Testing Program for English Language Arts. This score, in part, is derived by assessing student performance on the five analytic traits.

The following holistic writing rubrics provide insight into how student responses are scored, and the holistic writing/constructed response exemplars provide explanations for the scores of selected student responses.
