This free resource is for both, teachers and students. The writing checklist allows students to check their work before submitting for grading and acts as a marking rubric for busy teachers. The questions are in line with the Cambridge Curriculum but can work with any type of written assignment. The correction codes are simplified codes that can be used when grading work. We can use these codes to make grading simple and effective. Students can use the correction code list to identify their mistake and try to correct themselves, meaning that students are actively involved in the editing and re-drafting stages of writing. Simply print and you’re ready to go!
