Understanding the Writing Grades

Some of you may be confused by the new writing grades that went home this afternoon in your child's Tuesday folder. I hope this will help!

On the "Time I was Nervous" paper, I took three grades.

1. Handwriting on the published piece.

2. Notebook- Students worked on this paper for 2 and a half weeks. I graded them on the writing process and the steps we did together as a class.

3. The actual paper- I used the TAKS writing rubric to grade the paper. TAKS scores writing with a 1-4. Here's the scale in grade form.
1- 65
2-75
3-85
4-95 

As always, shoot me an email if you have questions. :)
