My first task as a teacher’s aide is to correct a huge stack of essays from a grade 9 class.  The teacher thought it would be appropriate for me to try my hand at correcting the classes dissertations and see in what capacity I would be able to help her out in.

This will be my first time correcting any assignment and I hope it goes smoothly.  I think I will have to develop some sort of routine as to how much time I will spend correcting each paper and what criteria I am looking for in the assignment.

I have been told that I need to make sure that the students include a thesis statement in their essay that ties in with the topic.  I’ve also been given the marking guide as to what the teacher expects for the certain grade ranges.

Hopefully things will go smoothly and I will be able to get them done in a timely matter.
