I collected the response to literature paragraphs on Raymond's Run.
Here is the basic rubric I will use to score the 300 word paragraph, as determined by section 1. We had a good discussion about what a reasonable response would look like.
(Strong/Fine) Voice
(Strong/Fine) Expressive
(Well/Fine) Explained
connections to story
(Yes/No) Included
details from story
(Yes/Sort of) Organized
(No/sort of/Yes) Grammar
distracted the reading
Grade | A
| B |
C | C-
100 90
85 79 (Lower if the effort is not there.)
I know the rubric is not cut and dry numerically, but neither is this piece of writing. :)
