Pick a rubric, any rubric--or make your own.  Busy teachers
will find examples and templates of these valuable assessment tools in
a variety of subjects, as well as a tutorial that walks you through
the process of creating a rubric. See how your peers use rubrics in
their own project-based learning activities.

WHAT IS A RUBRIC?

Heidi Goodrich, a rubrics expert, defines a rubric as "a scoring tool that
lists the criteria for a piece of work or 'what counts.'" So a rubric for a
multimedia project will list the things the student must have included to
receive a certain score or rating. Rubrics help the student figure out how
their project will be evaluated. Goodrich quotes a student who said he didn't
much care for rubrics because "if you get something wrong, your teacher can
prove you knew what you were supposed to do."
