I tried using rubrics in conjunction with what my district calls "exemplars". I found that if I give the rubric to the students and discuss it as well as show the examples (sometimes I have to make the samples myself) for| each of the rubric scores before they begin an assignment, my students aim higher. They know just what the expectations are. It also helps me to easily point out what's lacking (or what's great) about student work without any fuss or arguing. For example, a student thinks the work is terrific, but it doesn't meet the rubric or exemplar criteria. I just point out something like " the | |
rubric says 5 facts for each habitat; how many did you include?" My students usually just take the paper and go back and rework it. As far as your grades of E S N, maybe you could use words like Wow! You've Got It, and Not Yet for the column headings. Personally, I like using rubrics and exemplars, probably because when I'm asked to prepare something myself, I like to know exactly what's supposed to be included and how to set it up. Just my opinion!
