New FCAT Narrative Writing Anchor Papers

Click on the heading above, "New FCAT Narrative Writing Anchor Papers" to view last year's writing prompt and samples. Show your child what a score of 6 looks like. Your child's writing should have an engaging beginning that grabs the reader's attention. It should include numerous, SPECIFIC details with transitional phrases. Additionally, it has to be written in an organizational pattern that flows smoothly.The conclusion should show a thorough ending to the story. The paper must have a sense of completeness, providing full details about everything each step of the way and keep the reader engaged the entire time. Most importantly, the story must be ON TOPIC!

Please contact me if you need my assistance with anything.
