Description
The rubric divides the requirements of an Argument Essay into four categories that are each worth up to 10 points - Ideas, Voice, Organization, and Conventions. Detailed descriptions are given for students so that they will clearly understand the difference between a 10, 7, and 5 in each category. The rubric provides teachers and students with a summative assessment score (40 points possible) and detailed feedback.
The rubric may also be used as a self-monitoring and reflection tool for students during the drafting and revision stages of the writing process. Students may use the rubric to score their early drafts in order to anticipate feedback and scores their teacher may give unless revisions are made.
If you are planning a Station Rotation lesson for Argument Essay Revision - include this rubric in one of your stations. It is valuable for students to preview the rubric and practice scoring essays - whether their own or another students´.
