Below is our starting point rubric.

Feel free to comment below: I am wondering if it might be helpful to add something like this to the proficient category: Student accurately identifies the main idea, cites specific evidence to support it, and states it in his or her own words. example
 * ~  ||~ Unsatisfactory ||~ Partially Proficient ||~ Proficient ||~ Advanced ||
 * < Locates the Main Idea and Supporting Details in Text ||< Student shows little ability to use strategies to find main idea and supporting details. ||< Student uses some strategies to find main idea and supporting details. ||< Student displays active knowledge of strategies to locate main idea and supporting details. ||< Students clearly demonstrates understanding of the main idea, and distinguishes it from supporting details. ||

For the proficient level: Student can extract or select the main idea, and supporting details. (quantity specified by teacher) For partial proficient level: student misses some details or main idea.
