The document contains two rubrics to evaluate students' reading comprehension and writing skills. The first rubric is for evaluating an essay assignment and measures layout, language use, use of evidence, and coherence. The second rubric evaluates a reading assignment based on use of reading strategies, interpretation, analysis, and genre identification. Both rubrics assess students on a scale of excellent to unsatisfactory based on demonstration of skills taught in class.
