Biography Essay Rubric
A simple essay rubric that I use for biographies.In my school my students can sometimes be absent for longer periods of time, so I generally assign them mini-research projects/essays where I can be a little bit more indirect with the learning and not teach from a textbook. That being said, this rubric often can be used for English as well as History. It's a bit informal, but also creative at the same time, and I find it hits a lot of areas both subjects try to focus on.As with all of my products
