Rubric Creation

I have created rubrics in the past, but not like the one I created today. Yesterday, I begin searching through the rubric resources that Dr. K provided. I tried IRubric first, I liked it, but I want to see what Rubistar had to offer. Well, I ended up choosing IRubric because I liked the format better. While I was putting my rubric together, I kept adding assessment elements of the Poetry Project. I felt that there were crucial parts that needed to be included. I liked how easy it was to add a row onto the rubric. I finally figured out why Dr. K has decimals in his rubric. I like rubrics, but they are time consuming and I wouldn't want to create them for every assignment done in class. After using IRubric, I would like to give my old class project rubrics a makeover. I really think this helps the students be accountable for their own work.

Out of the four classes I have taken so far, this class is by far my favorite. I love how we are completing assignments we can use for our own classrooms!
