📖 About This Rubric

This rubric helps you understand how well you can write stories about myths and legends. It looks at five important parts of your writing: understanding the story, knowing about characters, how you organise your story, the words you use, and how you check and fix your work.

How to use this rubric: Your teacher will read your myth story and tick the box that best describes your work in each area. You can also use it to check your own writing before you hand it in!
