Response Paper Rubric


Response papers will be composed in either an informative or persuasive fashion. Response papers are not creative writing. The
purpose of the response paper is to compose a well-thought out analysis of your personal reaction to one of our assigned
readings. You will be graded according to the Informative Rubric and Persuasive Rubric which can be found on my website
www.mrsarchabalenglish.weebly.com. Response papers are worth 25 points each and will be collected each Friday.
Attach/Staple a copy of this grading rubric to your weekly papers before turning in for grading.
