I'm overwhelmed by grading my students' writing. It takes me at least 10-15 min to grade each one for almost 100 kids. Any tips?

What are you grading—longer writing samples like 5 paragraph essays? I try to stagger writing assignments by class period so that I don’t have a pile of 100 at the same time if possible even if I’m teaching the same grade level class. Would that be a possibility for you?

We started focusing on traits and letting them know what trait we are focusing on. We have been having them only do 1 longer paper a unit seems to be better for them too

I have students write and I award points for writing the entire assignment, but then I grade only a section of it. For example, they wrote a narrative. I had them create a plot chart first. They earned points for the chart and for following it. Then I also included an engaging beginning and narrative techniques. I had students highlight their best description, etc. that seems to help me go faster. I also use Google Classroom rubric. That speeds it up too.

I’m curious how much other people with similar incomes save/invest a year; I’m a 24M, making 70K a year in a HCOL city. I saved about $12K in my first year of working out of college, and I feel like that’s pretty good but I could’ve done better. My rent isn’t too pricey, but I went on 3 vacations, go out to the bars frequently, and spend pretty freely on food. Anyone care to share their income and corresponding savings for FIRE?
