The prompts are designed to elicit expository, narrative, and descriptive writing.
12-grade writing measures a twelfth-grade level of literacy as defined by the 18 learning outcomes. For instructional purposes, the outcomes can be clustered into four broad categories: content (outcomes 1-2), organization (outcomes 4, 6, and 7), languages outcomes 8-11), ad writing conventions (outcomes 5, 12-18).
