Chapter 12

I like how Wormeli discusses both the 100 point grading scale and the 4-point (rubric) scale. Being an English major, I feel like the 4-point scale would benefit my students greatly. I can see using the 100 point scale for vocabulary or grammar quizzes (if any were given), though. Students really do focus more on the quality of their assignment when they are given a 4-point rubric. Although I hate creating rubrics, I feel that they help the students reach mastery quicker and with more ease than if I used a 100 point scale for everything.
