Rubrics for Writing Assignments

Let’s face it. Writing is a hard subject to grade. There are so few right and wrong answers like there are in math. So it’s natural to wonder how to grade a writing assignment your student completes. 

It can also be hard as a student to remember all the things you need to include in a project, like thesis statements, transitions, hooks and leads, conflict and climax, and so much more. 

This Free Writing Rubrics and Student Checklist Pack has forms and tools in it to help both you and your student stress less about writing. 
Over 20 Pages of Free Writing Prompts

Written Assignment Rubric

The pack starts with some ideas and tips on how you can use rubrics in your homeschool (hint: they are about more than just grades). 

Next are 8 rubrics you can  use to assess your student’s work. They cover: 

  • general goals (such as grammar, etc.)
  • magazine articles
  • news articles
  • book reports
  • persuasive essays
  • compare and contrast essays
  • research papers
  • fictional stories 

Writing Rubrics for Feedback

Each of these rubrics also include space for giving your student specific feedback that can help them see all the ways their writing is growing and improving. 

Then in the pack, you’ll find 7 student writing revision checklists (one for each type of assignment listed above, with the general goals included in each one). These can help students remember the goals as they revise and polish their work. 

It’s a simple way to take some of the frustration out of writing and help both you and your student enjoy it more. Scroll down to get your free instant download today!
