Application of the Scoring Rubric Scorers Look as much at what the writer does well as at what she/he does poorly. Give consideration to all features within the domain. Do not contaminate the scoring of own domain by awareness of either accomplishments or errors belonging to another domain. Do not create double jeopardy, e.g., a run-on sentence in Usage-Mechanics is not also a sentence error in Written Expression. “Brite” is one misspelling no matter how often the word appears.
Application of the Scoring Rubric Scorers Note that a word that seems to have been omitted due to haste in revising, editing, or copying need not demonstrate a total lack of control over that feature. Do not score a paper on only length. Length, in and of itself, is not a feature of any domain. Read the entire paper before assigning any scores.
State Scoring of SOL Short Papers • All student papers are read by two readers; their scores are added together • Composing/Written Expression score counts twice = 2/3 • Usage/Mechanics score counts once = 1/3 • If judges scores are more than 1 point apart, papers are read by a third judge
