Questions to Ponder

My kindergarteners are just beginning to learn how to write and because of that I also have them draw pictures with their writing to show that pictures and writing go hand and hand to convey meaning.  Each time they do a piece of writing I ask them certain questions to help them improve their writing. A few of these questions are to improve their writing in the short term, but a few of the questions help them to see the growth that they have made over the course of  the year.


Am I remembering to use punctuation?
Am I using capital and lowercase letters in the correct way?
Have I included details in my picture and writing?
How has my writing changed during the year?
Has my writing gotten better?
How can I improve my writing next time?
