Parts of Speech Practice: Create a Menu (Middle School Grammar)
This is one of my favorite real-life application projects that can be completed individually by students or in partners. The Create Your Own Menu project allows students to use their creativity to think of a type of restaurant they would open, name it, and create a menu for it all while practicing specific and vivid nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases. This lesson includes directions handout, student planning guide, and rubric. Created by Pride and Prepositions.

Personal Narrative Rubric for Students and Teachers - ALL-IN-ONE FORM
In an effort to teach my students how to self-monitor their learning, I created a combination checklist and rubric for the personal narrative unit of study.

I think this is a user-friendly document for teachers and students since it allows the student to self-assess, allows the teacher to assess the child, and gives the teacher some space for feedback.
