[Corpora-List] Written Essay Corpus (graded?)

[scott crossley]

Dear Corpora List,

We are trying to track down a corpus (or corpora) of student essays
written in English. Ultimately, the best scenario is if they were also
graded,based on specific criteria, but we realize this is unlikely. We
are looking for any and all proficiency levels and grade levels
(through college) and are more interested in first language samples
then second language samples (we have a copy of the ICLE). Any help
you might have in tracking such a collection would be greatly
appreciated. Free corpora are great, but we are willing to buy the
corpora as well

Thanks so much one and all,
