Rubric Checklist
The
purpose of a Rubric Checklist is to provide students an opportunity to practice
and to enhance accountability in the application of rubric items. One of the tools
used to assist students in the Peer Check process is the Rubric Checklist. The
Writer benefits from the check when she closely examines her written work item
by item. The Peer Checker benefits by taking a fresh look at the rubric through
the eyes of another writer.
When the Rubric Checklist is used routinely, rubric
items are quickly memorized. Rubric Checklists should be used frequently after
a rubric is first introduced. After students have mastered the skills, the
Rubric Checklist may be used on an intermittent basis.
Depending on the complexity of the writing
assignment and the skill level of the students, writing assignments may be
checked by one, two or three peers.
Teacher Judgment: Guidelines for the use of
the Rubric Checklist are included in each lesson. The decision to include the
Rubric Checklist in additional lessons is left to the discretion of the
teacher.
Learning Challenge
Highlight: It
is recommended that the Rubric Checklist be used in all writing lessons until
each and every item listed has been demonstrated at Mastery Level by all
members of the class. Use of the Rubric Checklist should be reviewed and
practiced on an intermittent basis.
