On-Demand Assessment and General Assessment Background Information
On-Demand Writing Performance Assessment Explanation
Each district should develop a comprehensive writing assessment plan that includes on-demand writing performance assessment tasks. Please follow district guidelines for the specifics of administering, scoring, and analyzing this task. It is highly recommended that teachers conduct on-demand writing assessments throughout the year. Data collected from analyzing this writing will allow teachers to begin to develop insight into what their young writers know and can do on their own, where they need additional help, and possible next teaching points. For more comprehensive information, please read: Calkins, Lucy. (2015.) Writing pathways: Performance assessments and learning progressions, grade K-8. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. When to Conduct the On-Demand An On-Demand Writing Performance Assessment, if given, should be administered before the Immersion Phase begins. General Assessment Background Information Please note that assessments were not created for the MAISA 3-5 writing units of study. Instead, Oakland Schools highly recommends using Writing pathways: Performance assessments and learning progressions, grade K-8 by Lucy Calkins as an assessment resource. Writing Pathways was designed to work with any curriculum aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This toolkit has comprehensive resources available, as well as possible mentor text. Each 3rd through 5th grade MAISA unit is generally aligned with Writing Pathways’ learning progressions and teaching rubrics. Using Calkins’ assessment tools (versus developing your own), allows more time to be devoted to studying the assessment measures, analyzing data collected, and planning for future needs (e.g. student, class, grade level and district). The following are some of the components available in the Writing Pathways assessment resource. If districts choose not to utilize Writing Pathways, they should consider creating similar components to support their assessment of student writing and subsequent teaching.
A. Learning Progressions for each text type B. On-Demand Performance Assessment Prompts for each text type C. Teaching Rubrics D. Student Checklists E. Leveled Student Writing Samples F. Annotated Demonstration Texts G. Writing Process Learning Progressions
The text also includes an extensive background section on areas such as: Components of the Toolkit, Conducting On-Demand Performance Assessments, Norming Meetings and Subsequent Scoring, Using Results and Adapting Writing Curriculum, Self-Assessment Checklists, Tracking Data, Teaching Using Learning Progressions, Transference to Content Areas, Designing Reading-Writing Performance Assessments, etc. Source: Calkins, Lucy.

Each lesson has a share component. Modify based on students’ needs. The following are other share options.
Some Possibilities for Purposeful Use of the Share Time
Name Purpose Method
Follow-Up on Mini-Lesson
To reinforce and/or clarify the teaching point
Share an exemplar model (student or teacher)
Share a student who had difficulty and the way in which he/she solved the problem
Share the story of a conference from the independent work time
Provide another opportunity for active engagement
Provide a prompt to initiate student conversation, “Turn and tell your partner…”
Problem Solving To build community and solve a problem
Review To recall previous strategies /prior learning
To build repertoire of strategies
To contextualize learning
Pose a “review” question to the class: “Today we learned one revision strategy. What other revision strategies do you use?” These strategies may be listed on a chart.
Looking Ahead to Tomorrow
Introduce a new teaching point – set-up for the next mini-lesson
Celebratory Celebration of learning
Boost student morale
Promote membership in the “literacy club”
Share the work of 2-3 students
Provide an opportunity for a whole class share: “You are all such amazing writers - you wrote so much today! Writers, hold up your open notebooks so that we can see all of the great work you have done.”

BACKGROUND ON JOURNEY CHECKLISTS – PROCESS AND PRODUCT
One of the primary goals of this unit, or instruction for that matter, is for students to successfully do this work independently. To that end, teachers must teach steps for writing a particular piece. These steps should be consistent within and across pieces, as well as text types. This unit is based on having students cycle through the writing process: Generating ideas for writing, rehearsing, planning, drafting, revising and editing. To guide students from beginning to end, we advocate two different journey checklists: a process checklist and a product-driven one. The process journey checklist encompasses generating ideas, rehearsing, planning and drafting. It is written specific to the unit. In contrast, the product checklist focuses more on revising and editing. This checklist aligns to either the text type of narrative, opinion, or Information. Also, it contains specific items included in Common Core State Standards for Writing. Process Journey Checklist – A sample one is included in each unit. Modify and change based on students’ background and experience with the writing process, as well as other items a teacher wants to emphasize. This checklist will help guide students as they navigate multiple times in writing a piece from start to finish. They will not have to rely on the teacher to tell them what to do next. Often the checklist is built one item at a time as it is introduced or reviewed in lessons. Once all steps have been taught, students are ready to try the process again without as much teacher direction. The checklist will serve as their guide through the journey of writing on their own. The student column is for them to list the date the step was completed. The teacher column is for when teachers’ cross-check student work. If grades are given, teachers often equate each step to a number of points that go toward a final grade for a piece. Please note: Checklists from grade level to grade level are aligned. Process is just as important as product in learning how to write! Therefore, we highly encourage teachers to monitor students’ growth in these areas. Product Journey Checklist (named Student Checklists in Writing Pathways by Lucy Calkins) – Once students go through the initial steps of the process (i.e. generating ideas for writing, rehearsing, planning, and drafting), they shift to using a product-driven checklist to guide their revising and editing work. It is highly recommended that teachers have students use the Student Writing Checklists included in Writing Pathways by Lucy Calkins to guide their revision and editing work. There is one checklist per text type. Use the same checklist for each unit teaching that text type. (Calkins, Lucy. (2015.) Writing pathways: Performance assessments and learning progressions, grade K-8. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.) If a district has not adopted this assessment resource, they should develop a product-driven student checklist to correspond to each text type. After students discover many of these items during immersion, teachers often distribute the checklist as a summary of what was discovered and to guide future work. In addition to being used after immersion as a review of what that text type should include, the student checklists may also be used throughout the unit and prior to celebration to guide students’ thinking and self-monitoring. Also, the product checklists are excellent for assisting students in setting writing goals or noting areas they want to give special attention. Time should be devoted to teaching students how to effectively use these checklists. Follow the To, With and By model as needed: Model for students and with students how to use the checklists on sample text before expecting them to do it by themselves. Please note: These checklists are end-of-the-year expectations. Monitor student growth and provide additional instruction for the whole class, small groups, or individuals on areas needing improvement.

Story Arc using Come on Rain by Karen Hesse
Tessie is so hot and wishes it would rain so she can put on her bathing suit and cool in the rain
Suddenly rain is everywhere.
Come on rain they shout
The mommas join Dancing in the rain
I ask momma “May I put on my bathing suit” “Absolutely not” Momma says
Clouds rolling in, gray clouds bunched and bulging under a purple sky
“It’s going to rain” I whisper to Jackie Joyce “put on your suit and come straight over”
Makes cold tea for Momma –“Rains coming, Momma, I say.
Jackie-Joyce in her bathing suit knocks on the door. “Jackie-Joyce has on her bathing suit may I put mine on too”, I say. Momma says, “Go on then”
We meet in the alley – the first drops plop down
We turn in circles, our mouths wide, we gulp down rain.
Chasing, splashing, squealing, and whooping in the rain
Find joy in the little things in life Or Enjoy Life
Tessie’s feelings change from exhausted, sneaky, coy, hopeful, grateful, joyful, over-joyed, content This is the internal story and change in character’s feelings over the course of the story. Plotting the internal feelings of the character next to the details helps writers do the same within their stories and add internal thoughts and feelings to their pieces.
Tessie hugs momma and she hugs her back. “We sure did get a soaking” I say.

Rules for Punctuating and Formatting Dialogue
There are quotation marks around the parts that are spoken.
The first letter of each spoken part is capitalized.
There are dialogue tags (S/He said) that explain who is talking each time the speaker changes.
A new paragraph is started after the speaker changes - every time the speaker changes.
The dialogue tags can go before, after, or in the middle of dialogue.
The first letter of the dialogue tag is not capitalized unless it is a name or the beginning of a sentence.
A quote or spoken part is always separated from the “he said” part with a comma, a question mark or exclamation point – at the end of the spoken parts. The punctuation goes inside the quotation mark. A period is not used with the “he said” parts, for it would create two sentences.
There’s always a period or comma at the end of the dialogue tag.

Reflection for Writing Narrative Stories Unit 1
Name _________________________________________Date __________________________ We have now been in school for about a month. We have learned so much about ourselves as writers, about one another, and about writing workshop. What is your favorite thing about writing workshop? What do you do well in writing? What is hard for you about writing? How are you going to be a problem solver instead of a problem keeper of this challenge?
Based on Stephanie Parsons, (2007). Second Grade Writers. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.
