Opera Crossword Puzzle Rubric

 

Opera Crossword Puzzle Rubric

This is the rubric that I will use to assess the rough draft and the final copy of each group's Opera Crossword Puzzle.  Please note that the rough draft is worth the total number of points (20 maximum) and that the final copy is the total number of points times (x) 3 for a maximum of 60 points.  Based on this criteria, the rough and final drafts are due by the due date.  There will not be any credit if the puzzle is turned in late.

Teacher Comments:

 

The score for the rough draft is just the total points.  The score for the final draft is the total times (x) 3.   (e.g.:  A score of 15 would give a final draft score of 45 (15 x 3 = 45))
