The students also owe me something that looks like one of these.
The Red Chief essays are graded
I had to get the Red Chief pieces graded, so I gave them a
quick grade. I read them without making
any marks or comments. Trust me, it is
not how I like to grade! I know students
want feedback, but I am pressed for time.
I am also teaching grammar each day now, so I did not scour the essays
for errors.
As I read, I asked myself these questions:
Was it long enough with enough details?
Was it organized with an intro, different paragraphs, and a
conclusion?
Did the grammar interfere or distract me from the
understanding the piece?
Then I gave it a score based on the model I had in my head
of what the paper should have looked like.
