Provide each student with a copy of the rubric and together review the criteria. Individually confer with students on an ongoing basis throughout the entire writing process. Urge students to proofread their work, referring back to the rubric to gain additional clarity. Offer constructive critique to help blossoming writers probe deeper, ask questions, and problem solve re: editing and/or enhancing their literary effort. Urge them to collaborate with peers to assess their writing development. Have students re-edit the story where required. The final product can be formally typed or carefully handwritten and illustrated by the student. Final story creations will be read aloud in class and subsequently collected for classroom display. Retain original writing samples in student folders for future self-evaluation, and to generally monitor student progress.
