The initial step in teaching paraphrasing is to ensure that learners understand the importance of paraphrasing: to say something in one’s own words, to avoid plagiarizing, to offer some variety in expression.
1. Paraphrasing
![Page 35: Assessing writing](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54807dfdb4af9f140d8b4661/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
…test administrator poses a series of questions that essentially serve as an outline of the emergent format written text (Brown:2004).
Example : In the writing of a narrative that the teacher has already covered in class discussion, the following kinds of questions might be posed to stimulate a sequence of sentence
2. Guided Question and Answer
![Page 36: Assessing writing](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54807dfdb4af9f140d8b4661/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Assessment of paragraph development takes on a number of different forms:
1. Topic sentence writing
2. Topic development within a paragraph.
3. Development of main and supporting ideas across paragraphs.
3. Paragraph Construction Task

The TWE is in the category of a timed impromptu test in that test-takers are under 30-minute time limit and are not able to prepare ahead of time for the topic that will appear.

Each point on a holistic scale is given systematic set of descriptors to arrive score.
Holistic Scoring
Weigle, 2002, p. 113

Primary trait scoring focuses on “how well students write within a narrowly defined range of discourse (e. g. persuasion or explanation) (Weigle, 2002, p. 110).
Primary Trait Scoring

In analytic scoring, scripts are rated on several aspects of writing or criteria rather than given a single score. Depending on the purpose of the assessment, scripts might be rated on such features as content, organization, cohesion, register, vocabulary, grammar, or mechanics.
