Tips for using rubrics:
Encourage students to
use their prewriting to
type a rough draft before
presenting them with a rubric.
This encourages students to
use keyboarding skills to
actually revise instead of
looking for typos.
Consider incorporating
requirements that are
commensurate with current
grammar lessons.

B
Any text that is
outside the <form>
</form> tags will be
in the file space itself, not in
the linked file.
