Writing is a medium of communication that
represents language through the inscription of signs
and symbols. In most languages, writing is a
complement to speech or spoken language

Level 1 (Basic):
A student at Level 1 recognizes agreement among
basic elements (nouns, verbs, pronouns) in the same
clause or phrase. This student avoids gross errors in
short or simple structures and can logically select
and order main ideas or divisions in a sustained
paragraph using appropriate transition words.
Students at this level demonstrate a basic
understanding of appropriate writing.

WRITING STANDARDS


Level 2 (Intermediate):
In addition to performing successfully at Level 1, a
student who is proficient at level 2 recognizes
appropriate agreement among basic elements when
they are complicated by intervening words or
phrases, avoids errors in relatively long and
complicated constructions, and is able to recast
several simple clauses using a single, more complex
combination.
Students performing at the intermediate level can
recognize and use the elements of good writing.


Level 3 (Mature):
In addition to performing Level 1 and Level 2 skills
successfully, a student at Level 3 produces logical
statements and comparisons and manages to solve
difficult or subtle writing problems, such as
appropriate use of parallelism.
These students discern fine distinctions among
closely-related root words and grammatical
structures characteristic of a mature writing style.


Specific vivid language. Avoid words like thing, it, nice,
and using this without a qualifier.
Rich and varied vocabulary usage, which demonstrates an
adult voice.
Active voice whenever possible. Avoid passive voice.
Varied and interesting sentence structure. Begin some
sentences with different introductory phrases, etc.
Mature use of punctuation. Expand beyond the comma (,) and
the period (.) Use semi-colons (;), dashes (-), colons (:), and the
ellipsis (). correctly!
Style should increase clarity and decrease confusion.
Always use the present tense when writing about literature.
The work lives on every time we read it.
Avoid using I in a persuasive / analytical piece. The reader
knows it is your paper.
Strike a balanced tone: not too casuals, not too formal. Never
use slang in a style paper (or on the AP exam).
Writing style

solid interpretation of the text.

Content

transitional phrases, support all claims with
quotations from text,subordinate each paragraph
