How MEAP Released Anchor Sets Can Help us Improve
Writing
The
following information was obtained from analyzing the MDE
MEAP 2007 anchor sets for Writing from Knowledge and
Experience. Members of the Macomb Regional Literacy
Training Center Management Team spent time analyzing MEAP
anchor papers that scored fours and fives for grades 3 to
8. Not only did they surface some very important
information for students and teachers about what kind of
writing will score fours and fives, but they also shared
how much they enjoyed the experience. They felt it would be
one they would like to share with colleagues.
