This is a Word template I created to help get you started with a WordSplash for use in your instruction. Once you download it and save it to your U: drive, you can manipulate it anyway you want. Just make sure you save it with a different name!

WordSplash Intructions

Just in case you needed a little assistance with how to change the template into YOUR WordSplash, here are some instructions!

Rubrics

There are a number of sites on the Internet that can assist you in creating rubrics for your assignments. Listed below are some places that can get you started. If you find one you really like, make sure you bookmark it (or add it to your Favorites)!!

These first two sites have some rubrics already created that you can use "as is" or adapt for your own purposes.
