Poof! 'Template writing' on FCAT shows up in 12 districts- - 0 views

testing

shared by anonymous on 20 Jul 09 - Cached

Writing exams from 49 schools were found to have "template writing" -- instances in which students from the same school used identical or similar phrases on FCAT essays, such as "Poof! Now I'm in dragon land." The patterns were discovered when the exams were scored. Some educators blame the problem on FCAT, the state's high-stakes test, and the pressure to score well. The phrases found repeatedly seem an attempt to showcase colorful, creative writing, and they might be viewed that way if they were used by individual children. But when many youngsters in a school write the same way, the department suspects that rote memorization, rather than good writing, is at play.

  What do we think of this practice? Do we think it's "legal?" Fair? Or, is it just a sign of the enormous pressures brought on by those tests?

  I REALLY agree with this. Maybe not so much for elementary, but for junior and senior high I think this is a must-do. Your thoughts?

Wow! It looks like it may be fun to create a possible fantasy world. I do worry about kids and I guess some adults getting to wrapped up in it to be able to separate it from the "real" world! Interesting report.
