Expository Writing: Assignments & Exams - Best Practices from CACPS

The following are the various OR and COMP assignments given throughout the year, beginning with the Fall Writing Assessment and moving through the final assignments for the Expository Writing Portfolio. I’ve also provided the Expository Writing Portfolio Grading Sheet in this section, though all other rubrics are in the rubric section. Finally, I’ve included my version of an “official” MCAS paper. The documents are available in two formats:

Microsoft Word .doc files that can be edited and used as a starting point for your own document
Adobe Acrobat .pdf files that can be viewed but not edited.
