**Writing Expectations and Rubrics**

 * The 7th Grade Social Studies Department is commited to support our English Department to offer our students the most effective academic environment. This will ensure success in the classroom, improve reading and writing skills, and improve ISAT scores. We meet with the English Department to know the scope and sequence of the writing skills they teach, and follow their same writing expectations. Social Studies uses the same rubrics, however, we make modifications to fit our curriculum. Below are rubrics that students will follow for every writing assignment.**
