Grade Me

The following two assessments provide both an analytic and holistic way of scoring an essay. While both can be beneficial this post serves as an example of each and how they can be used.
Holistic: This assessment will serve on a 1-5 grading scale. Each number will represent the quality of the paper. In order to do this I will read each paper individually and group then according to their grade. After I have graded each paper I will go back to make sure the papers in each grading category are evident to one another. The grading will be as followed.

1 the paper demonstrates deficiencies in overall writing skills and subject matter.
2 the paper demonstrates a lack of writing skills and pertains very little to the subject matter
3 the paper demonstrates the expected writing skills and a basic understanding of subject matter
4 the paper demonstrates well-developed writing skills and an understanding of the subject matter
5 the paper demonstrates, outstanding writing skills and an in-depth evaluation of the subject matter


The other type of assessment I will be utilizing is an analytic scoring system for a 5 paragraph essay. The essay will be out of 60 points. Each category will receive either a 0,1,2. 0-not applicable 1-demonstrated competence 2-demonstrated proficiency
