What is Write on Illinois?
  • Write on Illinois is a system for evaluating
    writing that has been introduced by the Illinois
    Board of Education. It includes 3 broad writing
    purposes

    problem/solution. Writing that seeks to convince
    an audience that opinion or solution to a problem
    is the correct one to accept.
  • 2. Expository-students are asked to explain,
    interpret, or describe something based upon
    background experience or research.
  • 3. Narrative-seeks to tell a story in
    chronological order either from first hand or
    second hand perspective. This writing makes use
    of setting, plot, character and theme. It also
    normally incorporates a reflective component
    describing how the event affected those involved.

    structure and the logical flow of ideas.

    and mechanics of the composition.

    whole. Did the writer use the correct purpose?
