Writing Program 
5th Grade

The Simple 6: A Writing Rubric for Kids  is designed to ensure that students 
understand the assessment process.  This simple analytic rubric speaks 
directly to the qualities a piece must have to be considered exemplary.

We will teach each step to the students by using various exercises.  The 
students will then be able to analyze their own writing by using the 
following rubric:

Yes = 1 point		No = 0 points

______	Did you stick to the topic, or did you run away with some other idea?

______	Have you presented your thoughts in a logical order that includes an 
inviting beginning and strong conclusion?

______	Have you overused generic vocabulary, or have gone back to look for 
opportunities to use interesting words.

______	Did you use different sentence patterns, or does your story sound 
like a list?

______	Does each paragraph have a topic sentence and supporting detail 
sentences that are descriptive.

______	Did you write for an audience? (original, lively, or another unique 
perspective appropriate for the prompt)

______	TOTAL POINTS (How many did you answer yes?)

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have 
regarding this new writing program.  I am looking forward to the studnets’ 
development as writers this year.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
