Hmmm. Those are good rubrics, but there is still room for subjectivity. What distinguishes well organized from somewhat organized? What represents enough sentence variety to get to level 3? And presumably you want all your students to get to level 3, right? So if level 3 is an A, you want them all to get As. Actually, at the lower grades I agree with you that grades are meaningless for the students, if not actually counter-productive. Grades at that level are for the parents, not the students. But at the higher levels, I think grades have meaning and usefulness. But at the higher levels, what constitutes good writing becomes even more subjective than at the lower levels. Family obligations -- got to go for now.
