Do I understand the components of mode, form and audience well enough to teach them to my students?

Yes:

No:

I want to examine the COS or C rubrics used to evaluate student responses in writing

What is "expository" writing, anyway?

I want to practice scoring the anchor papers.

What is a "mode"? How is this different from the "form"?

I want to see how these anchors were scored on the COS or C rubrics and to read annotations of their scores on the six trait scoring rubrics

What are organizational strategies commonly used in expository writing?

I'm ready to give my students the writing assessment now.

Which graphic organizers are well suited to analysis and/or writing expository text?

What are some ideas for teaching expository writing?
