WRITING How are you graded? What does it all mean?

Agenda and Objective Agenda Writing as process Grammar and Content Codes Checkmark sheet Student correction sheet Rewrite Objective Students will develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing and rewriting through the use of feedback and writing rubrics.

Writing is a PROCESS. In this class, you will be asked to write, then rewrite, then write again, then rewrite. Take the feedback given and USE it to make yourself better.

GRAMMAR ERROR TALLY SHEET Page 2

Grammar Error Tally Sheet Incorrect and lazy grammar is distracting and very easily fixed through practice and proof reading. The second sheet is the grammar error tally sheet. What do you think is the goal behind this? Step 1. Write your name, year, and class (grade level) Step 2. The “Essay Title” is “Mood Assignment” Step 3. Date written is “9/23” Step 4. Look through your essay. Each time you encounter a number, you will MARK it on your error tally sheet in the appropriate box.

Your Responsibility… Step 1

NUMBERING CORRECTIONS Page 3

Numbering your corrections After you’ve tallied up all of the errors, you’re going to place a number going from 1-? on each of the codes I assigned. This will keep your corrections organized.

MAKING CORRECTIONS

Making Corrections After you’ve numbered your corrections, you must REWRITE the error rule on a separate sheet of paper. Along with how you will fix it. If you numbered from 1-20, you will have 20 corrections to make. You MUST write out the rule EACH TIME. This will help to ensure that you commit the rule to memory and hopefully lesson the offense over time.

Essay Corrections The corrections MUST BE HANDWRITTEN.
