Prompt
The attached files are my rubric and a student essay for [GRADE AND SUBJECT]. 1. Score the essay on each rubric criterion, quoting the sentences that justify each score. 2. Write feedback for the student: two specific strengths, two specific next steps, in encouraging language suited to their age. 3. Note any part of the rubric that was hard to apply, so I can make it clearer. Give me a suggested mark, but I will make the final call.
