Attached is the actual CSU writing evaluation form/rubric.  Please compare to the student-friendly version.

Attached is the writing rubric used at CSU schools for all writing assignments.  It has been modified to be a student-friendly version.  This is what will be used to grade essays and writing assignments for English 11.

 

Hi AVID Seniors-

 

Please make sure you provide a completed Brag Sheet to EACH person you ask to write a letter of recommendation for you.  This will help the writer (even if they know you very well) to write a fantastic and well-rounded letter for you.

 

Also, make sure you are asking politely with plenty of time for the teacher to write the letter for you.  You need to make sure you provide them with all the information needed (college name, address, envelope with a stamp if needed to be mailed, brag sheet, due date, etc.).  I recommend giving the writer at least three weeks to write their recommendation.  If the letter needs to be sent electronically, make sure you provide explicit instructions as to how to turn in the online recommendation.

 

 

 

We will be working on this in class, completing the research and the writing process with my support.  Once the essay has been written according to the guidelines and rubric, we will begin working on the presentation process, using the presentation note cards to support our presentation and guide the creation of your visual presentation.

Attached is the handout I provided the fist few weeks of school.  This breaks down the points earned per assignment and the coinciding percentage and letter grade.  Please use this as a reference for all grades in the grade book.  If you lose the copy I gave you, please print another copy and keep it in your binder.
