Improving Student Writing Skills
rubric—a scoring guide for student work that defines how you will assess or assign
points
scaffolding—working toward a difficult technique a little at a time; for example, you
might scaffold students toward Authentic Writing by gradually releasing the constraints
of your assignments
sentence fluency—the writing trait that focuses on readability and flow, both within
individual sentences and across a piece of writing
Traits of Good Writing—a scoring rubric that independently assesses the components
that make writing good (ideas, sentence fluency, voice, organization, word choice,
conventions, presentation)
voice—the writing trait in which authors demonstrate their personality; voice should
be appropriate to an assignment’s audience and purpose and should demonstrate
the author’s passion for the topic
word choice—the writing trait that focuses on the individual words used; good word
choice paints a specific mental image
writing process—the process that all authors use to prewrite, draft, revise, and publish
their work
writing workshop—a framework for classroom time in which a mini lesson is followed
by independent student work, ending with a brief time for sharing
