It evaluates writing on its ability to address purpose and audience, demonstrate effective organization of content, develop an effective thesis with supporting details, and employ effective language. Writing is assessed on elements such as focus, structure, consistency, logic, word choice, sentence structure, and mechanics. Exemplary writing communicates purpose with sophistication, engages the audience, and demonstrates nearly flawless writing mechanics.
