"Kid Language" Writing Rubrics

The following writing rubrics were written in 8th grade "kid language" so that 8th graders (and their teachers) could understand them. Some license was used in creating these rubrics, in that I included elements such as writing in complete sentences and answering all parts of the question--elements that are not included in the standard writing rubrics, but are certainly implied.

Writing to Inform
Writing to Persuade
Writing for Personal Expression
