District Tests: Writing Samples

Many schools/teachers in Poway use one or more District writing tests to diagnose the writing skills of students and measure growth during the year. Below, find examples of tests used in the past, directions, for how they were administered and scored, prompts and samples of actual student writing. We hope these samples clarify one way writing is measured in Poway and what District expectations are as students develop their writing skills from year-to-year.
