STAAR Writing-Expository Scoring Swap (Grade 9)




Bring your students' STAAR expository writing papers and participate in a scoring swap! This session will review the scoring requirements for the STAAR expository essay, and then allow participants to score students' papers and have others score their students' papers for a wider perspective on students' abilities. See additional notes for the writing prompt.

Important Session Information:


Please bring student essays written to the 2018 released STAAR prompt:

English I - Expository Prompt

Read the information in the box below.

In a 2005 marketing research study, teens cited writing as one of their main creative outlets. They also said their “ideal” activity is reading a book, followed by exercising and shopping. Although the teens surveyed said that reading is an “ideal” activity, they admitted that they’re actually much more likely to spend their free time surfing the Internet, watching TV, and listening to music.

Think carefully about the impact technology has on teenagers’ lives.

Write an essay explaining why new technology is so important to teenagers.
