Writing Scores

When a student gets his/her writing piece back you will see two scores.

One score will be out of 6 points (Applications). This score is based on how well the student got their ideas across, staying on topic, and using interesting language.

The second score will be out of 4 points (Conventions). This score is based on grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.

The scale for the letter grade is as follows:

Applications (out of 6):
6 = A+
5 = A
4 = C
3 and below = F


Conventions (out of 4):
4 = A+
3 = B
2 = C
1 = F


The kids will be getting back their letters they wrote to me during the second week of school, tomorrow. If you have questions don't hesitate to comment or contact me.
