I like the simplicity of the wording in your rubrics. I also agree that we shouldn’t be writing all over the student’s final drafts. Sometimes I make simple comments on the rubric. I appreciate your ideas for more effective ways to teach writing. I have taken many of your ideas and adapted them to work for me. Thanks so much for all the tips! I do have one question about your rubrics, why do you choose to grade spelling and punctuation but not capitalization in students’ writing?
