Grading Criteria (6th Grade)

  • Clear informative thesis (not just a topic)
  • Body paragraphs each with a clear focus
  • Evidence from at least 2 different sources or types
  • Transitions between ideas
  • Objective voice (no 'I think')

Common Mistakes to Flag

  • Thesis just names the topic instead of making a claim about it
  • Paragraphs contain mixed topics
  • Transitions are missing or repetitive ('Also...Also...Also')
  • First-person opinion language in an objective piece

Example AI Feedback for 6th Grade Informative

This is the kind of feedback LessonDraft generates — specific, quote-based, and actionable.

Your thesis 'Climate change affects oceans in three major ways' gives readers a clear roadmap — this is exactly what an informative thesis should do. Body paragraphs 2 and 3 are strong; each has a clear focus sentence and supports it with data. Paragraph 4 introduces a fourth topic (biodiversity) that wasn't in your thesis — either add it to your roadmap or cut it. Revision: either revise your thesis to 'four ways' or cut paragraph 4 and expand paragraph 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is informative grading different from research essay grading?

Informative essays explain and educate without necessarily requiring formal citation. Research essays emphasize sourcing, citation format (MLA/APA), and synthesis across multiple academic sources. Select 'Research' if your assignment requires a works cited page.

Can I grade informative essays without providing a rubric?

Yes. The default rubric assesses thesis clarity, organization, evidence integration, diction, and conventions. If your rubric differs, paste it in and the AI scores each criterion individually.
