Comprehensive Paragraph Writing Rubric that breaks down overwhelming standards and puts them in student friendly language. Offers chunked grading to allow students to tackle writing in digestible assessment ratings.
 
I use these for all of my paragraph writing, and just continue to duplicate and edit, creating multiple variations of a similar rubric. Students end up super comfortable with it and begin referencing the rubric when it has indicators they feel comfortable with.
 
Consistency in measuring students is so important-- this will help guide your students' writing and your grading so much!
