good grief!

if you still have them, attach their original "fake" reports, and your copy of where they got it, and then grade using your original rubric. (attach a copy of that, too!) grade only the portion of the 2nd fake report that
was written in the kid's own words--i'm in too much of a hurry to make that grammatically correct! do a big talk with the class about plagiarism. (you've probably already done this!) and then move on...

i find it always helps me be objective when grading writing if i have a very clear-cut rubric for exactly what i'm looking for and how many points are attached to each thing--go over

it at time of assignment--go over it a couple more times if it's long term--i've even shared models--this would get 100 because...this would get 80 because... then noone can whine about grades not being fair; they see right there what the assignment was and how much everything was worth and what's missing.
