So my coteacher just dropped this bomb on me. Told me I need to create a writing rubric for the entire semester for each middle school class level. YAY!

Of course it was too much tell me 2 months ago when I started desk warming.

So basically does anyone have any good sources/tips on this? For the first year they want me to start very basic with things like "The dog is big". And somehow explain to these kids the "rules" of writing. Sigh*

Thoughts?
