In your own words describe how you would grade, or assess an essay? Identify WHEN you would use an essay item, HOW you would write an essay question, and WHAT criteria would you use for scoring.
There are multiple parts and portions in a single essay. As far as grading is concerned I would try to breakdown the essay in numerous parts and try evaluating them one by one. Like I would go first for Introduction, topic sentence, 1st paragraph, body of the essay etc. And there is one more thing I will look for that is grammatical use, how effectively proper grammar is being used. Main points are covered or not, this is an important criteria for evaluating an essay. Whether his decisions on the basis of presented arguments are correct or not that needs to be checked. I would recommend an essay when we need complete related information about a particular topic. Various things related to this topic need to be known than one can go for essay type of question. I would just keep in mind the proper structure of the essay. Will follow all the standard norms. My first sentence will set the tone for the entire essay. Than I will move forward covering essential points one by one. After presenting all the arguments I will take a position and make my case. Then a refined concluding paragraph is expected from me.
