Directions: Have students practice using there best, everyday, and sloppy handwriting. I explain that when we write final reports or assignments we use our very best handwriting. I explain that everyday handwriting is used on most assignments and is legible. We do not use sloppy writing at school as it is not legible and hard to read.
Includes:
+ My Handwriting Black and White Worksheet
+ My Handwriting Color Worksheet

Writing Peer Assessment for Quick and Easy Grading | Formative | Rubric Student
By Perfectly Planned Designs
Have stacks of essays and writing assignments you need to grade and looking for a quick and easy way to grade them? Look no further, scoop up these Writing Peer Assessments which come 2 per page and put the bulk of the grading task on the students themselves! Working with their peers, students first read the writing assignments or essays, then list their strengths and weaknesses. At this point, you can also give them copies of rubrics to reference as well. After doing a deep-dive into the writing assignment, students then assign a grade and staple their Peer Writing Assessment slip to the front and all you need to do is review the comments and decide if you agree with the grade given. In the end, the grade given by the teacher is final! Although I don't utilize this method for EVERY essay I grade, I definitely turn to these peer assessments when grading becomes overwhelming!
