Essay Writing Rubrics - Summary, Narrative, Persuasive, Response to Literature
Writing can be so difficult to teach . . . and to grade! So many papers! This is why an essay writing rubric is the teacher's best friend. You're still able to provide feedback to your learners, but you save all the precious time of having to write out the comments. Last year using rubrics, my students wrote 9 essays and I didn't take a single paper home to grade. And by the end of the year, they were light years better at writing.

Ethos, Logos, and Pathos Quiz
This is a quick 10 question identification quiz where students are asked to identify if the given statement best represents ethos, logos, or pathos. I use this as a quick check to see if students comprehend how the parts of the rhetorical triangle play out in common situations.
The quiz is duplicated three times in order to save paper, and an answer key is attached for easy scoring.
