I didn't grade a single writing assignment all quarter (kept putting them off) and now I'm doing them. I wanted to give their lang. arts grade based off their end of quarter writing samples (which I did score on the 6 traits) but that would mean I was being really lazy. So, now I'm plowing through 5 different assignments. I'm only grading 1-2 traits we focused on per assignment. They aren't very long, but still, why do I do this to myself???
