WRITING: Make-believe Monday
**Please note: Some of you are turning in writing that is only one sentence long. This is not acceptable for a 3rd grader in the 4th quarter! Here is how I have been grading your writing:
5 points (100%):
+ Capital letters (beginning of sentences, proper nouns, I, etc.)
+ Punctuation
+ Mostly correct spelling
+ Your writing is on topic (based on the prompt for the day) and has well developed ideas
+ Complete sentences - at least 5 that stay on topic
4 points (80%):
+ Capital letters (see above)
+ Punctuation
+ Some spelling errors
+ Writing is on topic, but leaves the reader with some questions. Your writing does not explain the story, or leaves gaps in the story.
+ Mostly contains complete sentences - 4 or less
3 points (60%):
+ Some capital letters
+ Some punctuation, or only one punctuation mark at the end of the story
+ Many spelling errors
+ Writing is not on topic, or contains very few ideas that develop the topic
+ Some complete sentences, or only contains one long run-on sentence
2 points (40%):
+ Few or no capital letters
+ Few or no punctuation marks
+ So many spelling errors that it is hard to understand the story
+ Writing is not on topic, does not develop the topic of the day
+ Does not contain complete sentences
0 points (0%):
+ writing not turned in
April 27th is “National Tell a Story Day.” Create a plan and begin writing a story about any topic you would like. Your story needs to have a beginning, middle, and end. That means one paragraph for each...a total of 3 paragraphs! Each paragraph should have at least 5 sentences...probably more! Include some exaggerations that make your story even more exciting and entertaining. Post your story to your Bloomz portfolio.
