  Case: Writing in the content areas
Mrs. Black was asked to create a general writing rubric for all content area teachers for writing task purposes. 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?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
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.

Comments: I agree that using both specific and general requirements on the rubric, it would allow it to be universal to the different subject areas that it would be used in.
