Name of Test Arlington County, VA Spanish Partial Immersion Program Writing Rubric in English and Spanish for Grades 1-5 Languages Spanish Test Description This rubric for assessing English and Spanish writing for immersion students (Grades 1-5) is based on county standards. The components of the rubric are composition, style, sentence formation, usage, and mechanics. The student is required to write on a designated topic. The writing sample is then evaluated using the rubric. There are both Spanish and English versions.
