Foreign Language Literary Analysis
I developed this rubric to help communicate expectations for, and assist in the grading of, foreign language literature papers. I teach French and wanted to design an assignment that would grade language use and comprehension, but also focus on a well-developed, college-level literary analysis. This is based on the French literary tradition of "l'explication de texte." However, this rubric can be adapted to suit any foreign language and literature course.
