Informative Explanatory Essay Rubric | Practical Editable 4 Point for CCSS SBAC
If you teach in any state that uses the SBAC common core assessment, you might find the writing rubric for the performance task cumbersome and impractical for quick grading of student writing due to the purpose/organization portion of the rubric being separate from the evidence/elaboration and conventions portion of the rubric. Literally, the SBAC rubric provided to teachers is 3 pages. 3 PAGES! The rubric is designed in a way that allows students grade themselves first (student friendly languag

RI8.6 + RI8.8 - Argument Analysis (of Student Essays)
Before students begin researching and drafting their own Argument Essay, use these handouts to analyze and evaluate essays written by other students. I save student work from previous years (the good, the bad, and the ugly) to use for this activity, or you can easily print student examples from the internet. One essay may be used to conduct an analysis whole class, or you can provide multiple essays on a variety of topics and allow for student choice and more independent work. I usually offer 5-

Editing Checklist - Narrative Writing
Editing (especially peer editing) is often atrocious and does little to help our student authors prepare their drafts for publishing.
