1 My idea is not
clear and does not
have details I do not have a
beginning, middle or end.
The reader
might be
confused I would rather
write about
something else or
not at all. My
reader feels left
out I used words that
were not
interesting I can say my ideas
are more easily than I
can write them.
Most of my
sentences are short
and choppy or too
long. They are hard
to read aloud. My writing
needs a lot of
proofing and
editing. The
reader may not
be able to
figure out what
I wrote
because there
are so many
errors in
spelling and
punctuation.
