Good+Writing+Assessment

I designed this checklist after I brainstormed with my students as to what Good Writing looks like. They came up with the ideas. Next each student took a sample of a first writing entry from his/her journal and filled in the checklist. Over the course of a few days, students filled in sheets from entries from each month up to December. They were quite excited about the results and could see improvement. Most were quite hard on themselves with their marking. Even the number of words increased dramatically.
