Writing Pencil Rubric

This is our writing pencil rubric.  Students use this rubric to self-check their writing.  Students use the sun to make sure their picture matches their words.  They will use the finger to help remember finger spaces between their words.  Spaces make writing easier to read.  The "Go" sign reminds students to begin each sentence with a capital letter, and the "Stop" sign reminds them to end each sentence with the correct punctuation.  The outstretched hands will remind students to stretch out their words when writing and use lots of details.
