Brilliant rubrics for brilliant teachers. This bundle includes several iterations of both our analytical rubric and our argumentative writing rubric. Each iteration is specifically designed to serve a variety of specific purposes — ranging form grading speed to student input to skill mastery. Our rhetorical analysis rubric is distilled from CollegeBoard’s 9-point AP rubric, providing a meaningful way to give students feedback on analytical writing in any secondary English course. Whether you teach freshmen or AP seniors, you’ll wish you’d found these rubrics sooner!
Our rubrics are also designed to streamline the process of giving students an opportunity to modify the grading criteria — something that the vast majority of teacher-evaluation frameworks qualify as “highly effective.” Looking to bolster your next evaluation? Look no further.
In addition to the awesome rubrics, this bundle also includes TeachArgument’s RUBRIC CUBE — an activity that combines peer editing, revision, and reflection in a manner that promises to engage your students and to improve their writing. (To learn more about the RUBRIC CUBE, scroll down!)

Your students will, without question, LOVE this exercise.
