In my opinion, I would mark them off for punctuation (commas, periods, question
marks, dashes, colons, ellipses, etc.) as that has nothing to do with spelling.
Furthermore, I expect them to know that they must begin each sentence with a
capital letter. However, I'm on the fence regarding whether or not to count
them off for capitalization of individual words within the composition. So, I
tend to err in favor of the student and not penalize them for capitalization
except at the beginning of each sentence.
I am curious to hear other responses.

Hi Etnians,
n regard to the rubric "mechanics" for grading bagrut compositions:
I wanted to know if when marking bagrut compositions deductions should be made
or capitalization and punctuation errors even though the pupil is not to be
enalized for spelling mistakes.
hanks,
