  1. Unpacking the Writing Rubric Backward Design: Why Not Consider the Rubric?

  2. Unpacking the Writing Rubric Students should unpack the language • Keeping the end in mind, it is important that our students know the rubric terminology • How would a student interpret the words “adequate” or “thoughtful” ? • Are there ambiguous terms the student needs to define in order to better understand the expectations? • What are the observable behaviors for students? The first step to unpacking the rubric will be writing “student friendly” language by looking at score point “4” criteria on one the following writing genre rubrics: personal or literary narrative, expository and persuasive

  3. Unpacking the Writing Rubric • After selecting preferred or teacher assigned writing mode, the student group (or student and partner) work together to unpack the rubric by highlighting the most important words in the Score Point 4 category for the three areas of: • Organization/Progression • Development of Ideas • Use of Language/Conventions • After highlighting the words that stand out from the others, translate those words into student friendly terminology. In the classroom the teacher would help monitor and guide students as they choose words to replace the original rubric.

  4. Unpacking the Writing Rubric Students should create some visual representation • In order for students to take ownership of their own learning and to help them recall the writing performance standards on the state test, they will create a visual representation of their unpacked student friendly language • This representation can remain posted in the classroom for the duration of the project/process so that students may reference it as necessary

  5. Unpacking the Writing Rubric The teacher can suggest graphs, charts, etc., but what works the best is to allow students to be as creative as possible when designing their poster..

  6. Unpacking the Writing Rubric When students create a visual representation of a Score Point 4 using their own student friendly terminology on poster paper …Imaginationis their only limit  Give approximately 25-30 minutes to create poster and then have each group or pair share with the class Provide markers and poster paper

  7. Unpacking the Writing Rubric The final stage in class of unpacking the rubric is to VOTE • Most teachers do not have space in their classroom to display 6 posters times the number of classes they have throughout the day • This is why the final stage is to “vote” on one winning poster per class • The winning poster group must then stand before the class and explain their visual representation to the class • The posters representing each class will remain on the teacher’s wall for the duration of the project/process for all to see • They can be rolled up and then put back out when revisiting the mode or as a reminder to the students
