Edited August 23, 2018

Matrix grade rubric:

comprehensive and consistently supported with evidence
• well written – content-supporting and descriptive words
used throughout all sections; intended meaning of the
student (author) is clear
• All information is in proper sections
• all writing is original; any quotes are properly cited

4 = 85%
• answers, though complete and informative, are not
responded to throughout all sections.
• Well written but has some areas of confusion-lack of
supporting information; meaning isn’t clear
• All information is in proper sections
• all writing is original; any quotes are properly cited

3 = 75%

meaning is vague; incomplete supporting evidence
• Uneven writing -some key points for prompts are missing;
some incomplete sentences
