Ed White's practical guide to designing writing assignments, writing tests, and evaluating student writing has been thoroughly updated for the fourth edition, including new sections on directed self-placement, computer scoring of writing, Phase 2 scoring of portfolios, and much more.
This book is a helpful guide for graduate students who are studying to become an English and Creative Writing teacher and college professors who teach English and Writing. This book helped me to design lesson plans and assessments for my teaching portfolio.
I read this for a grad class. If I hadn’t already been teaching writing for five years, I probably would have gotten more out of it. It did get me thinking a good bit about how I respond to student writing, so I think it served it’s purpose.
