Writing Rubric for 180 Days

 

As you know the 180 Days of Reading has a writing prompt to complete on the last page.  This is a weekly assignment.  At this time the rubric is worth 5 points. and it will change as we continue on.

1 point - Topic Sentence - Most times this is achievable by simply restating the writing                                                 prompt question.  1/2 point is deducted if this sentence                                                  is not indented.  (5 spaces)  Good topic sentences                                                          should avoid pronouns.

1 point - Concluding Sentence - Wraps up the details, and is reflective of the the

                                                    topic.  Do not use "that", or "it", or "these"....

 

1 point - Details - details - details...... Write each detail into a complete sentence, and             then explain it  with another sentence using adjectives and adverbs.   This  is                   where I will look for descriptive language such as adjectives and adverbs, similes              and metaphors, and sensory details. 

1 point - Capitalization -  beginning of sentences & proper nouns,

                                         always capitalize "I"  (It is a word.)

                                         don't add upper case letters in the middle of words.

1 point - Punctuation - Always at the end of a sentence.  (period, question mark,                                                explanation mark)  Commas should be used for pauses.  We                                          will add quotation marks in the near future.

 

This should give students and parents a good idea of the expectations and grading for the writing page on the 180 Days of Reading.
