You may also go to http://www.pde.state.pa.us/a_and_t/lib/a_and_t/G11ReadSampler08_v2.pdf to get a set of samples for the 11th grade PSSA's. This set is for the 2008-2009 school year, comes with answers (you will need to blot them out prior to copying for classroom use), along with writing samples and expectations. I've found the writing samples to be very helpful for my students as they did not realize what the expectations were for writing. The writing does not need to be lengthy as long as the student gets the pertinent information down on the paper.
