Final Drafts of Writing are due
tomorrow, October 7th! Please see my blog if you have any questions
concerning these assignments.
Last Monday students were
assigned four writing prompts in response to camp. Students have been working
over 4/45 minute class periods to complete their writings. These writings will
be scored using a six trait rubric. The traits I will be scoring are: word
choice, sentence fluency, conventions, organization, voice, and ideas. Each piece of writing will receive a
percentage grade on a 100% scale. You may help your child edit their writing
only. Please, no revision… I need to see what your child is capable of
completing independently. When editing for conventions such as commas,
quotation marks, spelling, etc., please, make sure your child is sitting by
your side and learning about editing. Please, do not just edit the paper and
give it back to them. Thank you!
