Burke, Roberta A.

Abstract Details

2003, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
Sixteen high school students enrolled in an elective creative writing class of a small high school located in rural Northwest Ohio participated in this study. The class included students of varied grade levels and writing ability. Four task-specific rubrics were implemented with the creative writing class. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of rubrics to assess high school students' creative writing improved writing skills. The results of data analysis indicated that the use of rubrics improved students' writing skills substantially in three key criteria areas of creative writing: organization, word choice/usage, and creative style/originality.
