Rubric Creation Reflection

In the Rubric Creation project, I learned how to make those oh-so-helpful rubrics using a super simple website, rubistar.com! I have always loved rubrics. They made doing projects in school so organized! They left no questions to be asked, and they are great for checking to make sure all the requirements of the assignment have been met. They are also great for teachers to make grading faster and simpler. I was extremely pleased to find that making these rubrics could be as easy as they are.

I think my rubric is clear about the requirements of the assignment. The students were assigned to make a reproduction of a scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet. My rubric provides the time students have to do the presentation, their participation in the group, as well as an explanation that staying in character is important! My rubric is easy to read and I feel as though my students would be able to be well prepared for their presentation with this rubric.

I might have included that each group should act out only one scene from Hamlet, but since I would explain this in class, I'm not too concerned with this. Other than that, I think it worked well!

I'm excited to add this information to my list of technology skills. Making rubrics, especially with this easy tool, will make my life as a teacher so much easier!
