Use either the General Rubric for Analytic Evaluation or the General Rubric for Holistic Evaluation to assess any writing assignment, or choose rubrics that correlate to particular writing modes, including persuasive, descriptive, narrative, expository, and personal.

In addition, you can view and print annotated models of above-average, average, and below-average writing. Each model includes a summary of its strengths and weaknesses as well as a holistic and an analytic score.
