The Stanford Writing Assessment Program, Third Edition,
contains prompts in four modes—descriptive, narrative, expository,
and persuasive—that elicit a rough-draft response from the student.
Each prompt asks students to produce an extended piece of writing
under conditions modeled after proven instructional practice.
Students receive guidance throughout the writing process by means of
a Writer’s Checklist that provides reminders for prewriting,
composing, and editing.
Students’ responses are scored holistically on a six-point scale.
Analytic scoring on a four-point scale is also available. The six
analytic categories are:
- Ideas and Development
- Organization, Unity, and Coherence
- Word Choice
- Sentences and Paragraphs
- Grammar and Usage
- Mechanics
