assessment

This year, students will be assessed in writing strategies, which will be a rubric-based assessment that demonstrates student growth and achievement on a variety of writing pieces. __WRITING STRATEGIES __ As a part of the writer's workshop model, students will be given freedom and choice to write in a variety of styles and genres and on topics of their choosing as well. Because of this, a district-created rubric based on the Six Traits of Writing will be used throughout the writing process. When conferencing with the teacher, student writers will see how their writing piece meets the six traits throughout the process. Not only will this assessment for learning provide students with feedback to improve and refine their writing, but it will also allow them to see the great progress they are making as they continue to put their hard work and creativity into their pieces.
