Each spring, students in grades 4–10 are administered one text-based writing prompt for the FSA English Language Arts test. Students will respond to either an informative/explanatory prompt or to an opinion/argumentation prompt. An example of a text-based writing prompt for each grade is available for practice. To familiarize students with the response formats, teachers may encourage students to practice with each type of prompt within a grade band.  \nThe following FSA ELA Writing Practice Tests are available on the Florida Statewide Assessments Portal as shown below:  \nElementary Grade Band  \nGrade 4-Informative/ Explanatory Grade 5-Opinion  \nMiddle Grade Band  \nGrade 6-Informative/ Explanatory  \nGrade 7-Argumentation  \nGrade 8-Informative/ Explanatory  \nHigh School Grade Band  \nGrade 9-Argumentation  \nGrade 10-Informative/ Explanatory  \nThe practice test is not intended to guide classroom instruction .  \nTo offer students a variety of texts on the FSA ELA Writing tests, authentic and copyrighted stories, poems, and articles appear as they were originally published, as requested by the publisher and/or author. While these  \nreal-world examples do not always adhere to strict style conventions and/or grammar rules, inconsistencies among passages should not detract from students’ ability to understand and answer questions about the texts.  \nAll trademarks and trade names found in this publication are the property of their respective owners and are not associated with the publishers of this publication .  \nEvery effort has been made to trace the ownership of all copyrighted material and to secure the necessary permissions to reprint selections.  \nSome items are reproduced with permission from Cambium Assessment, Inc ., as copyright holder or under license from third parties.  \nBLANK PAGE  \nPage 3  \nRead the “Pen Names in Literature” passage set.  \nPen Names in Literature  \nSource 1 : What’s in a Name?  \nby E. Bennet  \n1 Names are useful. Sometimes they’re even more useful when they’re fake—especially if you’re a writer. Pen names, aliases, or pseudonyms—as they’re variously called—allow authors freedom , flexibility, and opportunity. Eric Blair, author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, adopted the name George Orwell because he feared his early work would embarrass his family. C. S. Lewis, concerned about his status as a professor at Oxford, used the name Clive Hamilton to publish a collection of poems. Charles Dodgson, a noted mathematician, used the name Lewis Carroll to write fantasy works such as Alice in Wonderland.  \n2 For many writers, turning to a pen name is the only way to get published. When a local newspaper refused him publication, sixteenyear-old Benjamin Franklin started writing letters to the editor under the persona of the middle-aged widow Silence Dogood. Likewise, many female authors have had to conceal their gender in order to overcome discrimination and get publishers to take them seriously. The Brontë sisters (Charlotte, Emily, and Anne) wrote poetry and novels under male pseudonyms. Charlotte wrote under the name of Currer Bell, while Emily and Anne used the names Ellis and Acton Bell.  \n3 Even today some authors adopt a pen name in order to stem biases and preconceived notions. Perhaps the best-known example of this is J. K. Rowling. Rowling’s publishers feared that young boys—the presumed audience of the Harry Potter series—wouldn’t take the book seriously if they knew it was written by a woman . So Joanne Rowling became J. K. Rowling. In hindsight, though, the change was hardly necessary. Rowling’s books enjoyed unprecedented success, gaining millions of fans among boys and girls of all ages, and adults as well.  \n4 In fact, Rowling became so famous that she later turned to another pen name, Robert Galbraith, in orde","cbCaicCe4TPirVpF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicCe4TPirVpF","pdf",1034381,14,"English","# Read the “Pen Names in Literature” Passage Set\n## Source 1: “What’s in a Name?” by E.
