STUDENT WORK: ADDITIONAL FINAL, GRADED ESSAYS
|
These are the graded electronic versions that I returned to students, so highlighted areas and comments are included. At the end of each essay are my grades (in blue). These were scored using the same rubric as our state English II test.
Scoring rubric for narrative writing:
1 = Development of clear thesis
2 = Use of supporting details
3 = Organization and coherence
4 = Control of grammar and mechanics
For grading purposes I gave them their score on the 1-4 scale and its corresponding 1-100 score.
- The first number indicates what they would have gotten on the state test. On the test, the highest score is 4 and the lowest is 1.
- The second number is their point grade for the class assignment.
Most of these are in the same condition they were when the students wrote them; they did very little revision (this was early in the year). See above for Contrell's final, graded essay.
