A skills based rubric for historical formal paragraph writing. This rubric does not focus on 'points' earned, but rather specific skills that can be leveled up with the clear and specific feedback the rubric provides. If you choose to use this as a grading tool, a level 2 can be graded as a 75, level 3 as an 85, and level 4 as a 95+. This is student friendly enough for kids to use for peer review and drafting, as well as revising their writing. Enjoy!
