Teacher Guidance

These rubrics are a supplemental resource and may be used in the classroom to complement existing writing instruction throughout the school year. They are not intended to replace other instructional resources.


ELA Rubrics (Opinion, Informational/Explanatory, and Narrative Writing)


The checklists act as a quick guide for students to monitor their individual writing effort and to allow students to verify that specific essential aspects of the writing have been clearly addressed. Teachers can use the checklists for student work completed in class or by course, and the checklists can be used by students in their everyday writing, if teachers so choose. Keep in mind that each checklist is meant to be a broad overview of student expectations and not a comprehensive list
