How is My Writing Graded?

You will get a score for development, focus, language and conventions. Your paper will have a DFLC written on the bottom and a fraction beside it. If you score a 1/4 next to "D"; then look on the rubric for what a 1 in development means. Your goal should be a 4 in each category, and proficiency will be a 3 in each category. To get your final score the teacher adds up the numerator for all 4 categories and places it over a possible 16. Then the teacher will divide the numerator by the denominator to get your final writing score. The best possible score is a 16/16 the lowest possible score for a completed paper is a 4/16.

Quotations Quiz!

After your teacher has given you permission, please click on the link below and take the quiz on quotation marks.

Remember the rules:

A comma comes before the quotation mark unless there is a question or an exclamation.

If the person is still talking at the end of the sentence the closed quotation is the LAST thing in the sentence, not a period.

"Do you know how to use quotations?" the teacher asked. "I think so," said the student, "but I might
need a reminder." The teacher smiled and replied, "Okay, let's start our review."


Click here to take your Quotations Quiz:

Challenge for Early Finishers

A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5
F =6
G=7
H=8
I =9
J = 10
K = 11
L = 12
M = 13
N = 14
O = 15
P = 16
Q = 17
R = 18
S = 19
T = 20
U = 21
V = 22
W = 23
X = 24
Y = 25
Z = 26

What word can you come up with that when you add the value of the letters together, it equals exactly 100?

Example:  Look=53, L=12, o=15, o=15, k=11; so look equals 53. I am looking for words that equal exactly 100.
