RACE RUBRIC & POSTER: For Writing and Grading Open Response- Common Core Aligned
Rubric can be used when grading students writing. This is a great tool to help give students specific feedback on their answers. Also, I used this tool in the class during peer reviews. A student would read another student's work and give them feedback using the rubric. It was very rewarding to see the students using the vocabulary from RACE when discussing the scores with their writing buddy. Soon after introducing the rubric I saw improvements in the students scores.This tool is a MUST HAVE!
