Creating an Evaluation Rubric and "Expert Enough"

PART I of II - Creating the Evaluation Rubric

You spent some time reviewing how-to articles. Now are going to help decide what should be included in the evaluation (marking) rubric for the how-to article you write.

Remember, these are the elements that are usually included in an effective how-to article.
  • An eye-catching short headline
  • A good introduction that explains the purpose and benefits
  • Step by step instructions that clearly explain the process
  • Illustrations or photos that help the reader understand the instructions (if necessary)
  • A list of materials or supplies that are needed, if necessary
  • All the necessary details are included
  • The language and word choice is simple and does not confuse the reader
  • Any additional tips or cautions are are also provided (if necessary)
  • A solid conclusion that reminds the reader about the benefits and purpose of the article
  • If the article makes reference to any other sources, they are cited
