Samples of Students' Writing from the English 33 Diploma Examination, June 1988.
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Student Evaluation and Records Branch.
This booklet provides samples of student writing that exemplify the standards that governed the scoring of student essays on the June 1988 English 33 Diploma Examination. Both major and minor writing assignments for seven students are provided, with examples of the full range of student writing. The English 33, Part A, Written Response requires three separate writing assignments, each in a different rhetorical mode (personal response to literature, functional writing, and response to visual communication). Commentaries accompanying the essays highlight selected features of the students' writing and show how the scoring criteria used to mark the essays relate to the students' work. Accompanying each student essay is a discussion relating the characteristics of the essay to the descriptors in the scoring guide. An appendix provides the essay scoring guide. (MM)
