[quote=Anonymous]Yes, not just mult-choice: PARCC ELA includes 3 different types of writing. As best as I remember from teaching middle school, there's an informational essay where they have to compare 2 different texts; something literary based on literature where they have to write an alternate ending or something like that; and a persuasive piece based on a few different texts. The writing pieces are HARD, especially the info-comparing one. They're not bad critical thinking skills, but it goes above what I would have taught my students in a year, and I was known as a pretty rigorous teacher. Students' scores did generally reflect my experience of their proficiency, but I think you could be a pretty smart kid and still get a 3 on that thing. [/quote]
