Level 2: Alternative Writing Rubric

This is a writing rubric that Peter McDonald and I have been working on, and using with our Level 2 classes. It focuses on 3 main areas, content (whether the essay uses clear topics, and has contains ideas that are well supported and developed), presentation (spelling, indenting, sufficiently long and with enough paragraphs, etc.), and grammar/vocabulary (clarity, accuracy, and complexity). It is pretty broadly-based, so we’ve been able to use the same rubric with all of the level 2 first semester essays.
