Abstract | Three expressive writing tasks from the 1974 national assessment of writing are summarized and discussed in this report. Results indicated that for a majority of students, first-draft expressive writing is unstructured and lacking in coherence. The tendency to integrate feelings and to organize them in coherent expressions develops between the ages of 9 and 13, with some further development between 13 and 17. The proportions of good, expressive papers written by females, by students whose parents have post-high school education, and by students from relatively affluent communities are greater than the proportions for males, blacks, children of the poorly educated, and children who live in relatively impoverished areas. The capacity to enter into an imaginary situation with a controlled and consistent point of view grows steadily with age, though even at age 17 almost half the students are unable to do this competently. Sample papers and a copy of the revised National Assessment of Educational Progress writing objectives are also included in this report.
