Rubric Overview

This is your copy that you will turn in with RD#2 and your final- keep it in a safe spot!

“open box side”: what I’ll use to give you feedback on your RD#2

“lotsa words” side: what I’ll use to evaluate your final essay Check out the various category values-you can get a

good grade on this paper without it being all excellents, and you only need to have all proficient in order to pass the paper!

Excellence note: If you are working towards an Excellent for your final paper, your RD#2 MUST be at least proficient across the entire rubric at the time of turn-in (in other words, work really hard to make it very good the first time, so the RD#2 edits are just about bringing it up one level if needed)

Sample Paper Reading Assignment Please don’t write on the sample paper- there will be

a copy on my blog later if you would like your own printout

Read the paper, and review my comments in the margins.

When you get to the “What’s Wrong Here?” comments, use the rubric to evaluate the section, and write your answers to the 7 questions on a piece of notebook paper.

When you finish the entire paper, score the paper according to the rubric. Write your scores for each section on your notebook paper. Use language from the rubric to justify your answers.

Finish reading and answering the questions by 12:10
