Symbols for quick feedback on geography class essays


You picked the Wavy Lines....

Trudeau's system for marking your essays involves the following shorthand items:

Star: excellent; highest praise.

Check: quite good; competent and point-earning material. Large check, more credit. Small check, less credit.

Wavy line: material not at an acceptable level; look for errors in either grammar and construction or in accuracy of information.

Circle: spelling, agreement or punctuation error.

Size of the mark generally denotes greater or lesser praise or caution.

If the mark is not sufficiently clear to you after reading over the passage, please see me. When possible I will respond during class. Sometimes it will have to be after class. Before and after school are also good times to ask questions of me.
