  Case: Evaluating a student's essay
My students must go through the six steps of the writing process (I guide them along the way) and I use a rubric to evaluate their work. Many teachers at my school evaluate their students' rough draft, as opposed to the final copy. When evaluating written work, are we providing a grade to the student's rough draft or final/clean copy?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I allow students to evaluate their rough draft using a checklist with yes, not yet, or no as their criteria. This gives them a tool for bettering their work, and allows me to see what kind of work they think they are doing. When I grade their final copy, I also have them turn in their rough drafts and this checklist. I can see who simply copied their rough draft without revisions, and who took the "not yet" and "no" pieces and improved upon them.
