RUBRICS

What is a rubric? A rubric for assessment, usually in the form of a matrix or grid, is a tool used to interpret and grade students' work against criteria and standards. Rubrics are sometimes called "criteria sheets", "grading schemes", or "scoring guides". Rubricscan be designed for any content domain.

So, as you can see this is a solution for the previous post. It is a way to change the assessment in our English class. That is because you can do a rubric for whatever you want. For example, you can create a rubruic for each skill, or for each unit, or for each content. 

A rubric can help ypu to change your mind about doing exams, beacause for that reason for instance, you can do with your students a lot of activities, and if you only assess them with the rubric of each activity, you do not need any assessment tool to do it. 

I have created some rubrics along all my degree, but for this subject as a way to practise with an example I made a rubric to assess a debate- That is an interactive activity where all students can practice speaking and I do not need to sit down them in a chair to talk on English. With my rubric with numbers 1 to 5 I can check if they are able to mantein a conversation in English in a good way.
