Writing content and form is related to the writing purpose and audience, with increasing emphasis placed on mechanical and word processing skills. Notebooks and end of year portfolios continue to provide students and parents with the opportunity to assess language development and usage, and reflect upon the year's work. Self-evaluation is an essential tool for language growth. Grading Seventh grade students are expected to take responsibility for both the completion and the quality of their completed work.
