Comprehend and Respond Achievement Rubric
Choose the following link for an Achievement Rubric that may be used for CR A/B 30.1, CR A/B 30.2, CR A/B 30.3, and CR A/B 30.4:
- The criteria and details for this rubric are taken from Saskatchewan Curriculum with a few details of my own.
- ‘little evidence, partial evidence, sufficient evidence, and extensive evidence’ is the same word choice used in all of the Prince Albert Catholic Schools Division’s Rubrics. Students are familiar with this language having seen it since Pre-K. For this reason, I thought using what students are familiar with would make the rubric easier for them to understand.
