Anchors and Practice Sets (Phase III, Year 3)

A binder for each grade level, elementary, middle school, and high school, was released in 2003 (Phase III, Year 3). These binders include anchor papers from student work for extended response items. Anchor papers are examples of scored student work that are mid-point score examples. Practice sets of eight student work papers have been identified. The practice sets include scoring criteria, practice set scoring sheets, commentary, and a score key.
