WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN TODAY’S PRESENTATION: • How the CSAP Test is given • What is on the Test • Your “CSAP Writing Team” • How to best read a “writing prompt” • Using planning sheets and graphic organizers • Who the audience is when you write on the Test
REVISING YOUR WRITING • Think about the answer to these questions: • Have I stayed on topic? • Have I organized my writing? • Have I supported my main ideas with details? • Have I used a variety of words and sentence structures? • Are my word choices and sentences correct? • Have I made my writing interesting? • Have I made my writing easy to read?
WRITER’S CHECKLIST • words that are capitalized correctly • words that make your writing interesting and fun to read • words that are spelled correctly • punctuation marks that are used correctly • subjects and verbs that agree • modifiers that are used correctly • paragraphs that are indented
FIRST, Read the prompt carefully from beginning to end. SECOND, Ask yourself: What does the prompt want me to write about? What is my topic and purpose for my writing? THIRD, Lightly underline (in the prompt) words and ideas about your topic. FOURTH, Circle the word(s)that tell you exactly what you should do (write a paragraph, explain, describe, tell a story, etc.)
POWER WORDS! DESCRIBE (DESCRIPTIVE) To give the reader a clear picture of EXPLAIN (EXPOSITORY) To teach the reader about or why TO TELL A STORY ABOUT (NARRATIVE) To relate the events of a story
Explain how I got into mountain biking Describe places where I’ve ridden Mountain Biking Tell a story about an exciting time I had riding my mountain bike
PURPOSE for the WRITING DESCRIPTIVE • TO “POWER” THE WRITING IT NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN SO: • The reader can clearly picture what is being described and • Include words that help the reader SEE, FEEL and UNDERSTAND what is described
