Critiquing & Grading
Grading writing assignments is not as straightforward as grading math assignments. Yet grading rubrics for writing can be carefully designed, and each type of element (writing mechanics, idea development, word choice, etc) can be given an appropriate weight. If a teacher knows the breakdown and value of each element, students will know how they’re expected to write. Grading of writing assignments thus becomes much easier for the teacher.
Time4Writing’s free writing resources cover critiquing and grading of writing assignments. The games, printables, and presentation supplement Time4Writing’s online courses. Designed to help students improve their writing skills, regardless of academic grade or proficiency level, Time4Writing’s 8-week courses provide more in-depth practice and one-on-one instruction by a certified teacher.
