More than just a catalog of grading options, however, this is a
handbook with a point of view. Its purpose is to help teachers
become intentional about their grading practices. Along with
recipes for grading techniques, it offers a philosophy of
evaluating student writing that encourages teachers to put grading
into a communication context and to make choices among the many
options available by determining the instructional purpose of the
assignment and considering the advantages and disadvantages of
particular grading strategies. Specific grading techniques are
integrated with suggestions about the craft of
evaluation--guidelines for instructional objectives, for student
audience analysis, and for teacher self-analysis that help define
communication contexts.
