(X 2) TOTAL LANGUAGE CONVENTONS Spelling The writer could read her writing. The writer wrote a letter for the sounds she heard. The writer used the word wall to help her spell.

6 2nd Grade Narrative Anchor Paper: Title: My First Fit Fest Score: Mostly 1s Descriptor Score Comments Overall 2 The writer wrote about when he did something. He did not elaborate much Lead 1 about one thing at the Fit Fest. The writer doesn't effectively try to make a beginning and there is little evidence to show he thought about a good beginning using action, talk, or setting. Transitions 2 The write used the transition "then" but lacks a sense of order appropriate for 2nd grade level to earn a 3. Ending 1 The writer had a part that showed what happened last. Organization 1 Elaboration 1 X2=2 Craft 1 X2=2 Spelling 2 Punctuation 1 The writer's story is all on one page but it lacks organization and a sense of time. The writer indicated what he did and who was there (he was) but it lacks feeling and detail appropriate for a higher score. The writer earns a t here because he wrote some details about what happened. He does not chose strong words or additional details to earn a 2 or a 3. The writer spelled word wall words correctly and is using spelling patterns but not at a level to earn a 3. The writer omits some ending punctuation and fails to capitalize a few letters.

9 2 nd Grade: Snoqualmie Falls Mostly 2s Descriptor Score Comments Overall 2 Overall the writer wrote about when he did something. He did not focus on one thing at Snoqualmie Falls but rather tells about lots of things he did. Lead 3 The writer chose the action and setting to start his story. Transitions 2 The writer uses then as a transition word and also to move the story along. These are not quite at standard for earning a 3 on the rubric. Ending 2 He found a way to end his story: Then we went home. This is not a 3 because he doesn t leave the reader with a feeling, action (beyond we went home), or talk to make an ending that would warrant a score of 3. Organization 2 The writer wrote his story across pages. Elaboration 2 The writer included details in pictures and words but didn t bring his characters to life. X2=4 Craft 2 X2=4 The writer used labels and words to give details but didn t use especially strong sensory words to add details or help readers picture his story. Spelling 2 The writer earns a 2 for spelling. Punctuation 2 The writer earns a 2 for punctuation.

13 2 nd Grade Narrative: Pacific Science Center Mostly 3s and 2s Descriptor Score Comments Overall 3 The writer wrote the story about one time he did something going to the Pacific Science Center with his mom. Lead 3 The writer sets the reader up with the characters and setting using talk to make a good beginning. Transitions 3 He uses transitions such as after, when, and then to move his writing along. Ending 2 The writer found a way to end but the ending does not earn the score of a 3. Organization 2 The piece lacks a coherent organization and because the ending is lacking, the score is a 2. Elaboration 2 X2 = 4 Craft 2 X2 = 4 The writer scores a 2 here because, although he tries to bring his character to life with talk and action in the beginning, he doesn t maintain it throughout the story. The writer uses some effective craft moves in the beginning but the middle parts and the ending lack strong word choice and other details. Spelling 3 The writer is above standard for spelling. He correctly spells words such as answered, really, breakfast and entered. Most word wall words are spelled correctly and he used what he knew about spelling patterns to help him. Punctuation 3 The writer is at standard for punctuation. He uses punctuation to craft his piece incorporating the use of ellipsis, quotation marks, commas, and exclamation points for effect. Capitals are mostly correct.

17 2 nd Grade Narrative: My First Tooth Mostly 3s Descriptor Score Comments Overall 3 The writer wrote about one time when she did something. Even though this story spans over the course of more than one day, it s still about one event losing her tooth. Lead 3 The writer sets the reader up with the setting and used action to lead the narrative piece. This is not a 4 because the lead is not written at a third grade level of sophistication. Transitions 4 She uses transitions and phrases such as When The next day On Monday, Finally, Then all of a sudden These all help to move the story along and would be considered above grade level. Ending 3 The writer used talk as the craft move to write a solid ending. She takes time to lead up to the ending and gives the reader a sense of closure. This is close to a 4. Organization 3 The piece has solid organization. She writes a lot of lines on each page and wrote across three pages. Elaboration 3 The writer scores a 3 here because she tries to bring her character (herself) to life by identifying actions, talk, and details. She even includes the character s thoughts. She is very close to a score of a 4 for Trimester 1 but doesn t quite x2 = 6 elaborate enough to warrant above grade level scores. Craft 3 The writer chooses strong words and helps the readers picture what is happening. She is very close to a 4 here because there is a sense of bringing the character to life but she misses the opportunity to tell more about her mom and x2 = 6 other possible characters. Spelling 4 The writer is above standard for spelling. She correctly spells words such as Tuesday, something, sudden, hugged, proud, annoying. Her approximations on other high level words are very good. Punctuation 4 The writer is above standard for punctuation. She uses quotation marks appropriately and use punctuation to craft her piece incorporating the use of commas, an ellipsis, and exclamation points for effect.

21 2 nd Grade Narrative: Apple Pie Eating Contest Mostly 4s Descriptor Score Comments Overall 4 The writer wrote the story bit by bit and stays within the timeframe of one event. Lead 4 The writer sets the reader up with the setting and even lets the reader in on how this is a family tradition. Transitions 3 She uses a few transitions and the piece has a good flow to it. This is not a 4 because she doesn t use phrases or sophisticated transitions beyond Finally. Ending 4 The writer used talk as the craft move to write a solid ending. She takes time to stretch out her ending and leaves the reader with a nice feeling about her small moment. This could be a score of a 3 as well. Organization 3 The piece has solid organization. She writes a lot of lines on each page and wrote across three pages. Elaboration 3 The writer scores a 3 here because she tries to bring her character (herself) to life by identifying actions, talk, and details. She even includes the character s thoughts: wondered She is very close to a score of a 4 for Trimester 1 but doesn t quite elaborate enough to warrant above grade x2 = 6 level scores. Craft 4 The writer chooses strong words and helps the reader picture what is happening. She uses figurative language jumped up and down like a bunny and hugged me so tight that almost x2 = 8 fell over! as effective craft moves. Spelling 4 The writer is above standard for spelling. She correctly spells words such as wondered, waiting, special, hugged, everybody. Her approximations on other high level words such as celebrates are very good. Punctuation 3 The writer is at standard for punctuation. She uses punctuation to craft her piece incorporating the use of ellipsis, quotation marks, and exclamation points for effect. Capitals are mostly correct. This is very close to a 4.
