<div>Hmm… I’ve always scored this type of sentence as a run-on sentence. Otherwise, you’d be giving the student credit for knowing how to form a compound sentence. If the student really knew how to form a compound sentence, it wouldn’t look like this! In other
words, the idea is to just score the sentences as they appear without giving the student extra credit by surmising something. Jean</div>

Hello …
<div class="">I’m working with a small district in Ohio. I’ve noticed this pattern in the student writing in this district (especially high school), and I would curious how you would score these pretests for sentence writing. I am attaching one student’s
pretest. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The particular error pattern I’m looking up shows up twice in this student’s piece. The very first sentence attempt is </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">“I have a very big family, I have 8 brothers and 2 sisters and 1 niece.” </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><font size="4" class="">Would you score this as a run-on or a compound sentence not punctuated correctly?</font></div>
<div class=""><font size="4" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class="">Up until now, I’ve scored it as a non sentence - now I am second guessing myself. I’ve seen this error regularly in the students’ writing.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What do you think?</div>
