This rubric evaluates role-playing performances on four criteria: content, roles, preparation, and overall impression. For each criterion, it provides descriptors for excellence (4 points), room for improvement (3 points), needs work (2 points), and unsatisfactory (1 point). The highest rating is given for highly relevant, innovative content; fully maintaining character; clear preparation and practice; and an excellent, interesting presentation. Lower ratings indicate issues like going off-topic, lack of character depth, appearing unprepared, and not meeting the intended purpose.

1. Role-Playing Rubric
CATEGORY 4 3 2 1
Content (40%) Excellent work! You provided
innovative fresh viewpoints on
the subject!
Your role-play is
relevant, but it lacks
imagination and nuance.
The role-play veers off-
topic a little. The next
time, pay more attention
to the instructions!
It appears that your
group did not even read
the instructions because
the role-play is entirely
off-topic.
Roles (20%) Outstanding effort! Everyone
in your group maintained
character, and it was obvious
that you all took your
characterizations seriously.
Even though everyone in
your group stayed in
character, some of them
didn't seem to be all that
"into" the activity.
Your group mostly
maintained its character.
Next time, take more
time to consider the
potential thoughts and
behaviors of the
characters.
It appeared that your
group had not planned
for the characters'
potential thoughts or
behaviors because you
failed to stay in
character.
Preparation (20%) It's clear that your group did a
great job planning and
practicing for your role-play
because everything went off
without a hitch.
Although your group
spent some time getting
ready for the role-play, a
little bit of practice might
have made everything go
more smoothly.
More time needs to be
spent on role-playing
preparation by your
group. It is obvious that
you are unprepared if you
are reading lines from a
script.
It appears like your team
did something else
during the planning
time.
Overall Impression
(20%)
Excellent! Your talk was very
interesting and useful.
Good! While it was
entertaining to see, your
presentation could have
been more educational.
Work on it! Remember
that even while the
process is enjoyable, you
are also intended to gain
knowledge from it.
The following time, I
anticipate much better
work from you.
