Our first grade team has talked ad nauseum about how to hold our writers accountable an how to grade their writing. We have a scale on our report cards of a 1, 2, 3, or 4. 1 being the student is not performing at grade level and 4 being they have mastered a objective and could even teach it themselves. So with writing, each teacher grades differently. We looked at writing objectives for each quarter and decided to make a rubric that was "kid friendly". I have this outline from a coworker at another school (Thank you Andrea!!). She made this for her graduate program and it was Kindergarten objectives so my team just adapted it for first. I keep a copy for each student in my pensieve notebook, so when I conference with each child, we can talk about this rubric together. Before we determine a final grade we usually like to see a student master an objective three different times. The rubric has a spot under each description for check marks. I usually put a date in each little box and maybe an example of what I saw just in case my memory fails me.
