Annotation Rubric
When I found myself writing the same comments time after time, I created this rubric, which sped up my grading time considerably. I also have students use it to assess each other's work, which has greatly improved their own annotations. Students find it helpful and easy to use.
This rubric assesses color-marking, annotating, and short answer responses. Each category is worth 5 points, so an overall score of 15 is possible. I use it on poetry annotations and close reading annotations.

Modern Day Genocide Project (to accompany Night or a study of the Holocaust)

Customizable Research Paper Rubric
I worked on this rubric for years, tweaking the points and categories until it was just right. Firstly, this rubric is helpful because gives more weight things that are more important: how well the writer synthesized various information with their own analysis, how well they used MLA format, and what quality of information did they find. It also judges papers on the clarity of their overall organization, paragraphing (unity and coherence) and "concise, lively prose."
