Assessment Tasks - Writing
Each assessment task is provided in the same format: a lesson outline is provided in PDF format with the student task materials provided in Word document format to allow teachers to adapt them for their classroom use. The page numbers refer to the original CASLT print document, Formative Assessments: English as a Second Language, to allow those individuals who have a print copy to refer to the text. The print document is no longer available for purchase. The first assessment tasks for each skill area are accessible to all, the subsequent tasks are available as a benefit of membership in CASLT.
