Take the guesswork and anxiety out of grading high school essays and research papers with our grading grids. 28 pages. Tired of the anxiety that comes from grading high school essays and research papers? Whether it’s persuasion, compare and contrast, how-to, newspaper writing, biography, or other popular high school essays, the guesswork is gone. Your students will earn points based on how well their essays answer certain questions. For instance, in a persuasive essay, they could earn anywhere from 1-10 points based on how clearly their introductory paragraph introduces the topic and the student’s view. Some questions are more important than others, and the potential points in the grading grid sections reflect this. After you have evaluated all the questions and assigned the points, total the numbers to reveal the grade. 28 pages. Download the first grading grid here. IF YOU PURCHASED THE 2ND EDITION OF THE TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE POWER IN YOUR HANDS , YOU ALREADY HAVE THESE GRIDS!
