I am 65 and kept all my graded papers with feed back as it made me a better writer (now published) and every once in a while I go back and read them to remind myself of the qualities for outstanding writing. Provide the written feed back and meet with those who could use help. Many will be grateful for your help. I went on to earn an MBA and a law degree driven by the input and all feedback from teachers like yourself. 😊

Wow! What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing it with us.

As a teacher moving to middle school ELA after teaching elementary for years, this is so helpful!

Yay! I'm so glad you love it. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Still, if I take only 5 minutes per essay, and I have 150 of them to grade, that means it will take me 12.5 hours to grade them all. There's no way around it--grading essays is an arduous, time-consuming process. Also, I give feedback to my students because I give them the opportunity to revise their essays and resubmit them for an increased score. I give students time in class to read my comments and I have them summarize my comments as an exit ticket. I spend a ton of time grading essays, so I make sure my students actually read my comments!

Meet with them to discuss revisions instead of writing it on paper. It's faster and effective.

If students don’t read the feedback left on papers, why is the solution to give up? Why not hold students accountable for reading their feedback? Rubrics help us rationalize why students get a specific grade, but I don’t know if it actually helps them improve their writing.

This teacher basically created another form of feedback that isn't as overwhelming for kids. The way a lot of teachers give feedback is overwhelming and often unclear.

@@RenoDeezWhen I got these rubrics back, both in HS and undergrad, I didn't know what to do to improve my essays. All I got was the vague advice on the rubric. When teachers/profs gave me real feedback, I read it and improved my essays. What a difference.

Hey, great advice. Do you give this rubric to them for all the composition tasks?

Do you give feedback on the rough draft or the final draft or both ?

I'm new to teaching middle school this year (taught high school for 4 years). Do you general assign 3-paragraph essays instead of 5?

@EBAcademics

Hey there! Our EB Writing Program framework is built around a 5 paragraph essay. However, that can always be modified to meet the needs of your students.

Is there a way to do this digitally? My goal is to make shared digital data folders for each of my students that include their larger written assignments and corresponding feedback so that they can see areas of strength/weakness in their writing.

Hi, forgive me for my ignorance but how does the ruberic in the introduction add up to 8, wouldn’t it be 4 since that’s where you circled?

@Brokenladder

The left bracket had (x2), so 4x2=8. If you go to 4:29, you can see all of the brackets more clearly. It helped me when I was confused. I had to go back and check.

How can I get your Response Literature Rubric?
