Introduction

ALPWhat is a Rubric?

A rubric is like a ruler. It helps you measure your learning. It helps you understand what is expected in your answers or problems or reports or projects.

It is like a checklist, a roadmap, a guide to help you include all the information needed to completely answer a question and show what you know.

A rubric is like a target. It tells you how to hit a bullseye.

You will want to know about three different kinds of rubrics to help you answer three different kinds of questions:

      1. Multiple Choice
      2. Short Answer
      3. Extended Response

In this section you will find explanations, examples, and practice questions for each of the three kinds of questions. You'll also find out how to use rubrics, or targets, to give your best answer.
