Rubrics for art, music, drama, and dance may sometimes be used for a different art form with little modification. For example, anart rubric that deals with the artistic sensory elements of line, shape, value, color, and texture might be used as a music rubric by substitutingmusical sensory elements, such as rhythm, tempo, pitch, timbre, and dynamics.

Assignment 7: Designing Your Rubric

1) Name an upcoming project, activity, or assignment for your class.

2) Design a rubric using any of the rubric models from the previous two pages.

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Decide whether the rubric addresses the most important aspects of student performance.
• Decide whether or not the rubric addresses the instructional outcome(s) to be measured.
• Decide whether the rubric includes anything extraneous. If so, change the rubric or use a different one.
• Don't pay too much attention to the rubric's stated grade level. It may be usable at other grades with little or no modification.
• See if a rubric from a different subject area can be adapted to fit your needs. Reading rubrics can often be used to assess listening; writingrubrics may be adapted to assess speaking; and fine arts rubrics can sometimes be applied to several different art forms.
• Make sure the rubric is clear.
• Feel free to combine or modify rubrics to make them work better.

3) Pick one item you disagree with from the original rubric you chose. Revise it to fit your philosophy of learning. Explain thetheory behind your disagreement, and how your changes will promote student learning.

4) Now that you have created a rubric, try the rubric out on some actual samples of student work. What do you notice?
