All subject areas would use this rubric as an assessment evaluator for the current push for writing in all content areas. What does Mrs. Black put on the rubric? How can this rubric be user-friendly to assure the other content area teachers use this effectively and easily?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 18, 2014 11:54 pm aMaDyS Reps: 99 Mrs. Black should make sure the rubric addresses organization, use of content-specific vocabulary, depth of knowledge/skill, and grammar. In creating the rubric, Mrs. Black has to consider aspects that all content areas would have alike. For example, all content areas have vocabulary that is specific for the subject; therefore, the rubric should address students using this vocabulary in their writing.

To ensure that all content areas can use this rubric it needs to be very flexible. Possible areas of flexibility would be like organization, grammar, flow, content. Rubrics can have the same elements that it measures but allow the different content areas develop specific factors that go into the areas they would like to see measured.

I suggest providing a modifiable virtual template so that individual teachers can ensure that the rubric is appropriate for each individual assignment's objectives and purposes.
