Argument Rubric (aligned with Common Core)
Our school district gives pretests and posttests every year to see student growth. Since Common Core instructors have been telling us that 70% of our instruction should be focused on argument writing, I have been tweaking this rubric for the past year and a half.

Explanatory/ Informational Rubric (aligned with Common Core)
I assembled this rubric using several different rubrics as models: MAISA, M-Step, 6+1 Traits, and other items I felt worked.
The forty points can be accumulated precisely if the student has all On-Target points plus 8 processing points.
When I use this rubric, I allow the students to see the prompt on the first day and discuss with their groups, brainstorm overnight, caucus the second day with people of like ideas, and write independently on the third day.
