"How do we expect students to improve on something we don't give them feedback on? An even further question would be: How do we expect students to care about something that doesn't even make the cut to be included on a rubric?"

I've created a free printable PDF proficiency rubric to help give specific, measurable feedback on sentences in student writing. The rubric is based on students' use of complete sentences, using commas correctly, using a variety of sentence types, and sentence fluency. The rubric includes "Next Steps" for quick and easy teacher feedback and will be delivered directly to your inbox for immediate download.
