How do we use rubrics?
Rubrics contain descriptors of achievement at different
levels for each criterion being assessed.
1. Read the student work sample on your table
2. Start at the lowest level & read the descriptions until
you find a level that best describes the piece of work
3. Note down the reasons you awarded this level
4. Talk to the other people at your table about the level
you awarded and why you chose this level
