The first questions in the writing section are examples taken directly
from the Essential Skills Profile for the trade and range in difficulty
from simple to more complex. The scale used for self assessment of
these skills reflects the stages of learning: “need help, can do alone
and can help an apprentice.”
The second part requires the apprentice to provide a brief personal
writing sample by composing 5-6 sentences.
Criteria for evaluating the sample are:
• Does the apprentice use print or cursive writing?
• Is the writing legible?
• Can the apprentice do the activity easily or does he/she struggle
to write a sentence or two?
• Can the apprentice put his/her thoughts on paper in a logical
order?
• Can the apprentice use punctuation correctly?
• Can the apprentice spell correctly?
• Can the apprentice use correct grammar?
