How to use the Rubric Generator.
Rubric levels should describe observable differences in quality. Avoid circular labels such as excellent work without saying what makes it excellent.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Separate the assessment criteria and describe observable differences at each performance level. Use language a learner can apply to their work, checking that adjacent levels distinguish quality rather than merely changing adjectives.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Create a three-level rubric for a short scientific claim supported by supplied evidence. Criteria: claim accuracy, evidence relevance and reasoning.
Completed example
Claim accuracy: 1 = claim is unclear or conflicts with the supplied facts; 2 = accurate but scope is unclear; 3 = accurate and appropriately scoped. Evidence relevance: 1 = absent or unrelated; 2 = relevant evidence is included; 3 = relevant evidence is selected and identified clearly. Reasoning: 1 = evidence is listed without a connection; 2 = connection is partly explained; 3 = explains how the evidence supports the claim and notes a relevant limit. Review the descriptors against an actual sample response before classroom use.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should rubric levels use excellent, good and poor without explanation?
Describe what is present or missing at each level. Labels alone do not tell learners or reviewers how to distinguish performance.
Why do two teachers score the same work differently?
Compare interpretations using a sample response and the criteria. Revise vague descriptors that permit incompatible readings.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
