Критерии оценивания и подсчет баллов  

WRITING - КРИТЕРИИ ОЦЕНИВАНИЯ

Максимальное количество баллов: 10

 Внимание! При оценке 0 по критерию "Содержание" выставляется общая оценка 0.

Процедура проверки работ в конкурсе письменной речи 

 Каждая работа проверяется в обязательном порядке двумя членами жюри независимо друг от друга (каждый член жюри получает чистую копию работы без каких-либо пометок). Члены жюри записывают замечания и выставляют баллы не в работе, а в своем бланке протокола. Итоговым баллом является средний балл между баллами, выставленными двумя членами жюри, проверяющими работу. В случае значительного расхождения выставленных оценок (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), назначается еще одна проверка, затем выставляется средняя оценка между двумя ближайшими баллами (третья оценка при этом не учитывается). Если после третьей проверки все три оценки значительно расходятся (расхождение оценок более 3-х баллов), работа считается «спорной».  «Спорные» работы проверяются и обсуждаются коллективно.  

ПРОТОКОЛ ОЦЕНКИ КОНКУРСА «ПИСЬМО»

При подсчете баллов за конкурс применяется коэффициент 2: полученные за конкурс баллы умножаются на 2.

Максимальное количество баллов, которое можно получить за конкурс Writing  - 20 (двадцать).
