Original Promptwriting screener for 7th graders with prompts and topics, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, sentence and paragraph writing to determine levels, strengths, and weaknesses
This resource is designed for 7th-grade students to assess their understanding and application of writing mechanics in standard English. The primary learning objective is for students to demonstrate their capacity to apply these conventions in a multiple-choice format and through composing a structured paragraph. The screener covers various aspects such as sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, and the synthesis of sentences, providing a mix of multiple-choice questions and open-ended exercises to evaluate students' writing skills. Success criteria include identifying fragments and run-ons, applying punctuation rules correctly, and structuring clear paragraphs with topic sentences. Additionally, students are prompted to reflect on their writing through self-evaluation checklists and creative challenges.
