First Writing Assignment

Due Friday, August 28, 2009

On Friday, you will have to turn in a finished piece of writing. This will be taken as a quiz grade for Honors English I. You should read your writing and determine which rubric you would like me to use to grade your piece. I will double check and make sure that that rubric is the most appropriate. All papers will be assessed using the state conventions rubric that is listed first. All writing should be sent to Mrs. Blalock using Engrade by the end of the day on Friday – no excuses.
 * If for some reason your piece does not fit in one of the three categories, please see Mrs. Blalock for more rubrics. If you are submitting a poem I will use the rubric below that best fits your poem.

NC Conventions Rubric – Applicable to ALL papers. Conventions Rubric

Memoir Rubric – Tells of a SPECIFIC moment or event in your life. Memoir Rubric
