Creating puzzles out of rubrics

One activity that I have my students complete to understand rubrics better is to turn the rubric into a puzzle! 
We first read the rubric together and talk about how you can earn different numbers on each section.  I give a copy of the rubric to each group and have them cut it into small pieces. As a group they work together to put it back together.  I have found that this helps them understand the layout of rubrics better and creates great conversations.

  1. That's a great idea! I'm sure by structuring your discussion of rubrics in that way the students have much more ownership over their rubrics.
