Creating our writing rubric

Today in writing we looked at a number of writing samples. We had to find out what made a good piece of writing and why. We worked in pairs, first we read the 3 samples. Then we thought about what one was excellent, what one was okay and what one was poor. We then used our highlighters to show parts that were good and parts that weren't too flash. We then started to create a rubric. We talked about what an excellent piece of writing might look like and what an okay piece of writing might look like and what a poor piece of writing might look like.

Now we are going to add to our rubric when we need to.

We will soon be able to see how we are going and place our own learning on the rubric! It is exciting stuff because we are going to be in charge of our own learning!!

We can't wait to use it, or use the highlighters again!!!
