- Excellent, Good, Acceptable, Unacceptable
- Above Average, Sufficient, Developing, Needs improvement.
- Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1

Note:
Rubric Criteria are the assignment components or characteristics that student work should exhibit in the final product or performance (i.e. Overall Content, Organization, Writing Mechanics, Writing Organization, Presentation, etc.). Every graded component should be included/represented in the rubric criteria.
Criteria Descriptions should include observable and measurable characteristics. The descriptions should clearly differentiate one accomplishment level from another.
