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.
