These essays could have been written while you were not there. For privacy concerns, please cover the child’s name when you copy this assignment to turn in to me.Clear, legible copies of the student essays must be submitted with this assignment. You should analytically score both students’ essays by ranking the six traits of writing exhibited in each of their essays and briefly explain why you ranked the traits for each essay the way you did.
