#2 Repetitive Picture
Ideas: 1
There is no writing at all on this child's paper, only drawing. The child has dictated the label, but it is not a sentence. "Lots of Power Rangers" is the label.
Organization: 1
The child has attempted no writing. The pictures do appear to go in lines from left to right and from top to bottom. There is no sense of beginning or end to the picture. The pictures are generally spaced, but some overlap, and some are squeezed in, not on the main line.
Voice: 1
There is feeling and energy communicated by the variety of colors. The child is drawing things of importance to himself, with no regard for an audience. Unless you know the students, this could have been drawn by any kindergartner.
Word Choice: 1
The child uses no letters and is not imitating word patterns. The pictures do stand for an idea. There is no environmental print copied. Word choice will not normally appear in writing until there is a sense of words as representative of spoken language and ideas.
Sentence Fluency: 1
The child mimics the use of writing across the page, though in drawings and not letters strings or copied words. There is no pattern for a sentence, other than going straight across the page. There is no sense of sentence, because there is no sense of writing as representative of spoken language.
Conventions: 1
The child is not writing letter strings or attempting to create standard letters. There is little attempt at spacing. The student needs to interpret the picture for us.
