Self-Evaluation Reflection Forms for Students, Editable, FREE
Reflection is one of the most powerful research-based strategies for use in the classroom. How many times have you poured over student essays only to hand them back and watch as students take one look at the letter grade and never look back? Or maybe you offer a revision policy but never get the results you want? This is the perfect tool for students to use to actually go back and revisit and reflect on their writing after they have received feedback and a score. It doesn't do for them to just

Improve Essay Writing, FREE Strategy & Prompts to Sharpen Writing Skills, CCSS
The only way I’ve found for students to really grow as writers is for them to write a lot and get meaningful feedback on their work. The reality, though, is there’s only one of me and 170+ of them, so my time with each student is limited. One way to maximize writing growth is with this common sense approach that requires students to write three times as many essays as I grade. Sounds strange, right?

Argument Essay Rubric and Score Card
This rubric is aligned with the College and Career Readiness/ Common Core State Standards-- specifically for 7th grade writing. This is not a fast-paced grading rubric; instead, it should follow deep-level instruction in each of the areas it assesses. Feel free to shorten it to your liking, as some students may not find the information as accessible as others. Two of my classes used a less detailed rubric instead.
