Grading
Report card grades for writing are either S, N, or I.
S=Satisfactory-student follows class rules, completes work on time.
N=Needs Improvement- student does not follow class rules and/or could do better work.
I=Incomplete- Student does not complete assignments during class time.
Students' writing will be graded for content, organization, purpose, audience, and grammar using a rubric, usually on a scale of one to four. The rubric will follow the same pattern as the rubric which is used to grade the fifth grade state writing assessment.
Students who receive three checkmarks in a six weeks period will have an 'N' on their report card. They are only in writing class for 1 1/2 hours per week, so it is quite difficult to receive three checkmarks.
At the end of each six weeks, students who have completed all assignments in class will be rewarded, while students who have incomplete assignments work to finish them.
