Questions and answers

What goes in the boxes of a rubric template?

The criteria go down the first column, one to a row, and the levels run across the top. Each box holds what that level looks like for that criterion. These sheets print the grid and leave every word to you.

Can I type in the rubric before printing?

Not on this page. Every grid prints empty, to be filled in by hand and photocopied once it is written.

How many criteria fit on one page?

Four, five or six rows, by the sheet. The grids print sideways, so each level column is wider than it would be on an upright page.

Is there a rubric template with points?

Yes. One sheet has levels 4 to 1 and a Points column, with Total points and Out of lines under the grid. Another has levels 5 to 1 with Points and Comments, eight columns in all.
