Teacher scoring guide
Evaluate the work against each criterion. Use 0 for no evidence yet, 1 for partial or unclear evidence, 2 for clear evidence that meets the criterion, and 3 for effective, well-developed evidence. Record what in the work supports the rating. These ratings guide feedback; they are not standardized achievement levels or a course grade.
Adult reading, discussion, drawing and dictation are appropriate. Record the support provided; do not treat an adult’s wording as the child’s independent writing.
| Criterion | Evidence rating |
|---|---|
| Develop a short event sequence | |
| Describe actions, thoughts and feelings | |
| Use time-order language | |
| Provide closure |
