www.thewritingsite.org is an excellent website that provides links to several writing resources. Last week while at a conference I became aware of this sites real purpose - Writing Assessment and Instruction. On The Writing Site homepage click on Scoring Instructions, which will lead you to a section where you can select a grade (k-12) and a genre. After selecting a grade and genre you are given a paper to grade. You will then be able to compare your scores to the expert scores and read the rationales. This is just one of the many things that you can do through The Writing Site.
