Writing Rubric in 'Kids Speak'

Under the instruction of our Literacy consultant, Kate Birch, as a staff we were encouraged to re-create the writing rubric in kids speak to make the criteria accessible by students in a format they could understand.
During staff meeting, we split into groups and were given 1 element of the rubric to unpack.  The exercise was interesting and in some ways challenging.  For many of the new teachers, this exercise afforded opportunity to reflect on how deeply we drill into the criteria of writing in our programme.
All agreed that the outome of the activity was both rewarding and practical for classroom use.
It was my job to collate all of the elements and put them together.  While there is still some tweaking to be done...this is the initial draft.
