ABSTRACT
When teachers consider grading diverse products, they may worry about the process remaining fair and equal. If all of the students create the same product, teachers feel these products are easier to grade than 100 different products, none of which looks like any other. Teachers simply assign 100 points to each of the three products on the Tic-Tac-Toe menus and then use the all-purpose rubric to grade each product individually. Some teachers prefer to provide it when they present a menu to students. If teachers wanted to share the rubric with parents, they could provide a copy for parents during back-to-school night, open house, in weekly folders, or on private teacher web pages so that the parents will understand how teachers will grade their children's products. No matter how teachers choose to share the rubric with students, the first time they see this rubric, it should be explained in detail, especially the last column, titled "Self.".
