Writing Piece Reminder

When your child gets a writing piece back you will always see two scores. One score is out of six and the other is out of four. The six is for language applications--think...how well did the child get their ideas across...how much detail did the child use...etc. The four is for language conventions--capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.


The students have been working on writing responses to a prompt this week. I always encourage them to use their personality to get their ideas across. I want them to make it interesting.
