Narrative Rubric

This AFL resource is very useful. The children should have it  while they are writng a story so they know what aspects are important to include. They can read their first draft, for example, and tick the corresponding requirement if they think they have fulfilled it.

Once you evaluate their drafts, you can use these rubrics as well, but without assigning points; it’s better to write comments on the margins and have a 1/1 teacher/ student  conference.

Use these rubrics when evaluating the final copy.
