Writing Paper with Self-Assessing Check List

Wow!  Susan and I have created a resource for both the primary and intermediate classroom.  I don't know about all of you, but here in Arkansas, we have a new teacher evaluation system (YIKES) that really focuses on student engagement and leadership. For me, writing has always been hard to teach, and kids seem to struggle with even the most simplest of tasks....even going back to check for punctuation and capitalization (which they have been doing since kinder).  So, in order to make our students more independent and accountable, we created a writing paper that has some simple reminders for students.  We hope you can use it!  I thought it would be great for students to use to self-assess during the rough draft process or revising/editing....keeps the kids focused and accountable.  I thought about telling my intervention kids, if you haven't checked for these things first, I cannot conference with you. :) Is that mean?  :)

Anyway, hope you can use! Click HERE to get your own copy!  Please leave us a note!
